- The Red-capped Robin ( Petroica goodenovii ) is a widespread Passerine ( songbird ) in dryer regions of Australia. They are mostly sedentary but if conditions are dry, this species will move to areas with a more abundant food source. Likewise, they will nest following suitable conditions, ideally with good amounts of rain.
The female is much more subdued in colour ( see my other youtube video of this species nesting ) • Red capped Robin Austr...
Their hunting technique is to perch, mainly low down and then make repeated sorties to the ground, hunting insects and grubs. The call from the male carries surprisingly far in the scrub.
The making of this video was very challenging due to high winds, meaning that the audio had to be engineered extensively.
General description from Birdlife Australia below.
The male Red-capped Robin is black above and white below with a distinctive scarlet-red cap, white shoulders, and a red breast that contrasts strongly with a black throat. The black wing is barred white and the tail is black with white edges. Females are quite different in appearance: grey-brown above and off-white below, with a reddish cap, brown-black wings barred buff to white, and some have faint red on the breast. Young birds are similar to females but are streaked white above, have an pale buff wing bar and their breast and sides are streaked or mottled dark-brown. 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.
Wow! What beautiful shots!
Much appreciated.
Really nice video of this handsome robin.
Thank you very much! They are a stunning bird and there are lots more videos to come.
Thank you for sharing this beauty. Beautifully captured.
Best regards, Knut.

Sweet little bird nicely captured, well done again on the exposure Tim!
Thankyou Romy, nice that we can both record these special birds
What a beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing, Tim!
Glad you enjoyed it Michael.
That's a beautiful bird with all this red.
Thankyou Thomas.
What a stunning bird! Had the pleasure to see this one during a holiday in Winton, what a find and a beautiful little bird
Yes, one of the Outbacks best. They are common enough but when you see them well, they really shine.
One of my favourite Australian birds Tim! Reminds me of the European robin in many ways!
Yes Daniel, I guess that is why the Europeans named them as a Robin, even though they are not related.
@@TimSiggs the rose Robin is another one of my favourites too 🌹 the bright pink breast reminds me of bullfinches too
What a little cuttie!
One of the gems of the outback.
Excellent footage, and great recording of calls! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Kath. It's always nice to get the calls wherever possible. They are quite inquisitive too.
Truly beautiful images, totally perfect. And superb audio. To get good images and audio is quite a feat. A lot of people don't appreciate just how much of an achievement that is.
Many thanks! Thankyou for your kind words. It does take a while to get these productions happening for sure.
Dream footage and audio Tim. Absolutely superb! So precious. Thank you for your amazing work. 💖❤🐤❤
Many thanks, Denise for your kind words. They are such a cool species. The conditions were not ideal but thankfully, we saw enough individuals to get the footage.
Wauw!
Captivating! Thank you for uploading this high quality production.
Glad you enjoyed it and please spread the word !!
Love this Tim :)
Thanks Tom, hope you are well mate.
Mate I absolutely enjoy these videos. Thank you very much for sharing them. What sort of lens do you use?
Thankyou for your kind words and support. I am currently using a Nikon 200-55mm F5.6.
Hey Tim.
We have these blackbirds at my place in a flock of around 30 - 50 and I was wondering if you would know what they are. They have black beaks and their call kinda sounds like a computer being hacked in movies. They look like a Rupples Black Chat but they live in Africa and I live in the centre of NSW.
It's really hard to say unless I had a photo to go off, sorry.
@@TimSiggs thats okay
What to wear to get the girl.
The things we do.
