The Red capped Robin (Petroica goodenovii) is always a welcome sight in the dryer forests and open country in Australia. Thankfully, they remain a common bird across much of Australia. The Males are stunning with the contrasting Red, Black and white plumage, whilst the females are more subdued with only a subtle Red cap.
They are often seen darting down to the ground to retrieve insects before returning to their perch.
These birds were filmed in a variety of locations including Western Queensland and the Queensland Gulf. This bird Video is part of my channel started in 2015. My ambition is to showcase 500 Australian bird species. I am passionate about Bird Video as it Potentially shows bird behaviour, breeding and often bird song.
I began birdwatching when I was 12 and progressed to bird photography and then to bird Video for the past 15 years.
Originally from the UK, I find birding in Australia exciting and engaging. I have now travelled around Australia twice but mainly film birds in Queensland.
Many of the bird clips are taken from hides or blinds that I construct from bush materials, saving the need to carry a hide to a location.
Knowing bird calls and song is a big part of finding each species and naturally, knowing the habitat requirements helps also.
Enjoy.
