Spotted
The Hooded Robin is an Australian species characterized by the male's striking black hood, back, and wings contrasting with a white belly and wing bar. Females are duller, mostly grey and white.
Where to spot
Widespread across mainland Australia, inhabiting open eucalypt woodlands, mallee, and shrublands, often in areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for them on low perches like stumps, logs, or low branches. Males are easily identified by their distinct black and white pattern. Listen for their soft, piping calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round, though some populations may make local movements. Most active during the day, particularly mornings.

Hooded Robins are known to hunt insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch, or by 'hawking' them in flight, displaying agile aerial maneuvers.
