Red-capped Robin

4 sections

The Red-capped Robin is one of Australia’s smallest and most vividly coloured robins, found across much of the continent’s dry interior. Males are instantly recognisable by their intense scarlet cap and breast set against jet-black upperparts. This robin is a familiar sight in arid woodlands and scrublands.
