On a quiet autumn morning in May, I found a Rose Robin female in a quiet part of the Lime Kiln Bay wetlands path. Rose robins are regular autumn and winter visitors to the area, coming down to the coastal strip when food is scarce in the Great dividing range and the plains beyond. She flew to a branch close to me, flicking her wings and then posing, an intimate shared moment. It is a precious memory for me because rose robins are generally quite shy, and prefer to stand with branches between you and them.
