Spotted
The Rose Robin is a tiny, delicate bird native to southeastern Australia, distinguished by the male's soft rose-pink breast and grey upperparts. Females are duller grey-brown.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern Australia, inhabiting moist eucalypt forests, temperate rainforests, and dense woodlands, often favoring areas with a dense shrub layer.
How to spot
Look for the male's soft rose-pink breast. They are often found in the mid-story or upper canopy, moving quietly through foliage. Listen for their soft, high-pitched, wistful 'tick-tock' or 'ti-ti-ti' calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round, though some populations may move to lower altitudes in winter. Most conspicuous during the breeding season (spring-summer) when males are in bright plumage.
Despite their small size, Rose Robins are adept insect hunters, often catching tiny invertebrates in flight or by gleaning them from foliage.
