A perky little bloke

White-browed Robins live in monsoon and riparian tangles along creek lines or coastal wetlands in tropical eastern Australia. They have an explosive call and quite a bit of character.

Rob,
I can see the similarity in body form, it must be one of those rarities where the colours are not so pronounced as they are in Europe :wink:
Still looks very nice though and a great capture :toast:

A fine bird and image. I'm always fond of understated monochrome type shots.

Doesn't sound like the easiest habitat to catch a bird out in the open. Excellent detail, Rob. Great image quality for that high an iso.

This image is a pleasure to view. Very nicely composed and captured with great separation between the bird and the background.
