The male red-capped Robin is all bold and beautiful, a bright, vivid red and white with a striking red cap.

The female is more subtle, almost blending into the background till you notice her wearing the less showy but still gorgeous little red-cap.

The males are causing quite a stir at the local woodlands. I have photographed them often in the past but only saw the females on a recent visit.I was very happy to watch her feed and flutter about amongst the trees.
If you look closely she has the remnants of a spider in her beak.
