Flocks of Small Corellas (and Galahs) have begun arriving in their raucus hoardes for this years’ season of eating, nesting, breeding and screeching.

Like most birds in the Flinders Ranges the Red Capped Robin breeds during winter. The males are in full colour ready to attract a partner. They are very common at the moment and are a treat to  meet. Their nests are very difficult to find. They build them in the forks inside acacia bushes, disguising them with pieces of acacia bark stuck to the outside.
