Hooded Robin

[Lance B]

Another new to me bird and one that has not been sighted in the Sydney region for over 25 years, hence why I have not got a photo of one until now. This is a Hooded Robin and fairly unusual even in the areas that it does inhabit. Lots of photos over two days as I was most excited in getting another Australian Robin to my gallery as well as a Jacky Winter which is also of the Robin family but not named a Robin. The name Jacky Winter is a mystery.

Nicely done. Especially like the first two images. Great perch, background and feather detail. And thanks for showing me a bird I didn't know existed.
