I’m joining Becky in her July Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word tree. Look for #treesquare. Come with me on a Central Queensland road trip starring trees and the beautiful landscapes of my home state.
Broken River, Eungella National Park
As we wander along the boardwalk at Broken River, a flash of yellow in the trees up ahead catches our attention.
It’s an Eastern Yellow Robin. At first it’s shy and hides in the foliage.
We stop and wait quietly until the robin comes closer.
Eventually it’s brave enough to fly down to the path and our patience is rewarded when it’s joined by a friend. They hop along the boards in front of us before flying away into the trees once more.
oh what a beautiful bird – and how magical you spotted it in time to stop and wait.

We’ve never seen them before but I’ve since learned they live right down the east coast.

That robin is gorgeous! I love our red robins here in the UK but it would be fun to have some yellow ones too 😀

Obviously your yellow robins enjoy the company of people as much as our red robins do! What a lovely find on your walk.
