autumn bird
Birds in their natural environment are always exciting to watch and listen to. This Eastern Yellow Robin is a relatively common bird however it is not widespread across Victoria mainly found in forests and scrub down the east coast. We had never seen one so imagine our amazement to be joined on a walk by this curious little Robin who stayed close to us for a few minutes.. The next day two more made our acquaintance close to the cabin we stayed in.

Adorable little bird. Puts me in mind of the finches I have seen. I thought they were merely greenish-golden leaves, when all at once, they took flight. It was a remarkable sight.

What a beautiful little bird, I had never seen a yellow robin before and they seem just as friendly as the red robins. Lovely photographs and haiku to capture this wonderful experience :o)

I was marveling at seeing a yellow robin and then read that it was new for you too…a wonderful haiku moment. I enjoy seeing him with the layers of focus in the trees.

They are not uncommon in SE Australia however they are usually away from where most people live. I need to visit more natural environment with my camera.
