4 sections
The Scarlet Robin is a vibrant woodland bird found across southern Australia, including Tasmania and southwest Western Australia. Males are instantly recognisable by their brilliant scarlet breast and glossy black upperparts. This species is a familiar sight in open forests, woodlands, and even farmlands, often seen perched low before darting to the ground for insects`.`
