Eastern Yellow Robin

How often I comment on others birding blogs, that I admire so much their yellow bird photographs. Being able to see for myself, the yellow robins while at Lamington National Park, Qld,  was a total joy.




Part of larger signage along one of the walking tracks.  I watched early one morning, while the brush turkeys were scratching away in the mulches, a robin would watch while clinging on from the lower part of a tree trunk. Then fly down when the scrub-turkey disturbed something worthwhile.

Great photos of beautiful birds. I see Eastern Yellow Robins around here - but have never yet got a photo that I was really happy with. Here's hoping! Yours are great!

They are beautiful shots Carole, and its nice to see the "background" shot of the sign also. You did really well with some of those shots and the dark undergrowth to be able to capture the Robin. I almost feel as though I was there with you as you explain - bird-watching through another bird-watchers eyes, thanks. Richard

Great series of shots, this bird is so pretty and I love the expression on it's face in the last shot, beautiful.

How striking this acid yellow breast on this little sweetie--so round and plump. And smart to let another bird do the work of foraging.

Wonderful shots of this cutie.

Splendid little birds - this is another one I got some good images of in Lambington.

It was hard to tell how many fish the birds were catching - but it must have been a few.

Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Unknown said...

Thanks Carole! You got some of the classic robin poses there!

Phil Slade said...

Super shots Carole. you learn something every dat - me, I never knew there was a yellow robin. Thought they were all red.

Arija said...

Robins are very resourceful. The Queensland version seems a much brighter yellow than in the Victorian alps. Lovely captures in that indeterminate light.

Lisa Gordon said...

What a beautiful little one, and your photographs of him are wonderful, Carole!

Cute little guy. I've not seen this species before. You are becoming the masterful bird photographer. Did you change the title of your blog while I was away?
