Dynamic Duo in Pink

These two photos seemed, to me, to belong together. Brighter and more showy than yesterday’s pinks with a very strong “Look at Me” factor.  They’re not keen to share the stage with others but promised they’d behave – as long as there’s just the two of them! Flower and bird both show a wonderful pink gradient from bright to light.

This robin was photographed in Tasmania, Australia. It was a jaw-dropping moment the first time I came across a photo of this bird!  In New Zealand we have a cute robin but it lacks the stunning colour.

Unsurprisingly, its common name is Pink Robin, scientific name is Petroica rodinogaster. The Aussies have another similar robin named the Rose Robin!
