Red-capped Robin and Hooded robin female - I think
Caught these shots down the back paddock this afternoon. I knew the Red-capped Robin was about and lay on the ground near a Golden Wattle waiting for him to use the perch I'd seen him on before. To hurry him up I use the bird song on my iphones field guide to make a contact call. Sure enough he came along, saw I wasn't a Robin and lost interest. Well, he did some very interesting hovering just the other side of the wattle where I couldn't get the lens onto him. I suspect it was revenge. I think the other one is a female Hooded Robin, but I'm happy to be corrected.
Both are taken with Canon 500D and EF100-400mm F5.6L
