Spotted
The Scarlet Robin is a small, vibrant bird native to southeastern Australia and Tasmania, known for the male's brilliant scarlet breast. Females are duller with a reddish wash.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern Australia (from Queensland to South Australia) and Tasmania, inhabiting open eucalypt forests, woodlands, and partially cleared areas, often along forest edges.
How to spot
Look for the male's bright scarlet breast and white cap. They typically perch low on branches or fence posts and sally out to catch insects on the ground or in the air. Listen for their soft, high-pitched 'twee-twiddly-dee' 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 brightest plumage.

Males display intensely bright red plumage during the breeding season to attract mates, a striking contrast against their black upperparts.
