	New Zealand Robin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Zealand Robin or Toutouwai (Petroica australis) is a sparrow-sized bird found only in the main islands of New Zealand.
		The male's plumage is a dark slate grey whereas the female is dark grey-brown.
		It is this bright breast that gave the birds their name, in comparison with the bright breast of the European Robin.

		With the destruction of New Zealand`s lowland bush, dense jungle like forest, which began with the arrival here of the Polynesians a thousand years ago and was accelerated by the arrival of Europeans a couple of hundred years ago, went a good many of New Zealand`s unique birds, such as the Moa and the Huia.
		Although New Zealand is still a heavily forested country in the remote and mountainous areas, these forests are infested with introduced animals such as goats, deer, rats and the Australian brush tailed possum, that pose a real threat to New Zealand`s remaining endemic birds.
		The New Zealand Ecological Society was formed in 1951 to promote the study of ecology and the application of ecological knowledge in all its aspects.

	New Zealand Birds
		A great percentage of the 328 bird species (61 families) recorded within the New Zealand region (including the Antarctic territory) are of Australasian origin.
		Like most islands, New Zealand does not support a great number of bird species, but this is definitely outweighed by the uniqueness of its endemic species.
		New Zealand's birds evolved in the absence of mammals (bats were present but not a threat) and took on some unusual roles normally occupied by mammals.

		After supper some of us walked by the lake enjoying the sunset over the distant volcanic peaks and flocks of New Zealand Scaup and Black Swan close into the shore parts of which were steaming with hot springs.
		As we watched this shy denizen of the New Zealand forest glided into the trees overhead, clambering its way up the branches, giving good views of its fl mask and blue wattles, its mournful calls echoing through the trees.
		This produced a new mammal in the shape of a pod of Pilot Whales offshore, together with Dusky Dolphins: distant views but very visible in the flat calm conditions.

		As a land without terrestrial mammals of any kind, New Zealand was, until the arrival of the first humans, inhabited by an extraordinarily diverse range of specialised birds.
		When humans arrived in New Zealand sometime between 800 and 1300, this unique and unusual ecology became endangered.
		Consequently New Zealand is today a world leader in the techniques required to bring severely endangered species back from the brink of extinction.

		Young robins stay in the nest for about 23 days after hatching, but even after leaving the nest the parents will continue to feed them until they are about 65 days old.
		Black robins are safe from pests in their island homes but sometimes larger bird species break their eggs.
		The good news is that they have survived this far – even with similar DNA, lots of predators and losing their homes to farms.

	Auz Robins page
		The Petroicidae is primarily an Australasian family of small flycatchers, often called "robins" although they are not at all related to New World "robins" which are thrushes [Turdidae] nor to Eurasian "robins" that are Old World flycatchers [Muscicapidae].
		The Petroicidae are less inclined to be aerial than other "flycatchers" around the world but their behavior is not unlike Old World robins in the Muscicapidae (they were once thought to belong to this family but we now know they are not related at all).
		Thirteen of the Australo-Papuan Robins are Australian endemics but almost half (18) are confined to New Guinea; another four are mostly New Guinea species whose range extends to northeast Australia.

		However, the figures reported for New Zealand populations are usually "apparent nest success", the number of successful nests divided by the total number found.
		Apparent nest success invariably overestimates the true success rate, and the degree of bias depends on the population and monitoring regime.
		We used Stanleys (2000) method for estimating stage-specific daily survival probabilities for New Zealand robin (Petroica australis) nests at Tiritiri Matangi, Paengaroa, Boundary Stream and Pureora.

		On our walk back to the pick-up point to return to Stuart Island, we went through some pretty densely forested areas, and came across a few of these Robins.
		Most of the time they were deep in bush, and basically unshootable, but this one perched out in the open (although pretty back-lit).
		It also required some work with Neat Image and careful Photoshop work (especially using the Highlight and Shadow tool), but I was reasonably pleased with how it came out.
