Dusky Robin
Melanodryas vittata
|
|
| Tasmania's Dusky Robin is common in open forest areas
adjoining cleared land and will be seen perched waiting to swoop on ground
insects spiders and snails. I have seen this species eating seed in winter
months. Predominantly brown in colour tones with a pale edging below the
bend of the wing. Breast is lighter with slight flecking. Voice is a
repeated "choo-wee" .Juveniles are lighter in mottled breast colour
with paler streaking above. Call |
