As you can see, at 9.26 am on 09 February 2025, this post’s hero was well-wetted.
As his appearance makes evident, he is a male.
His plumage’s recently-concluded breeding season “magnificence” is fading, but not altogether gone.
Scarlet robins live in Australia’s southern forests and woodlands, Tasmania included.
The Northern Territory is the only Australian place with a parliament that entirely lacks their presence.
Scarlet robins mostly eat spiders, insects and insect larvae.
The pictured individual is the only one I have so far seen in WA, this year.
