      1. Sorry Mark , I was going to wright in more detail but got called away.
        I found this bird with some females feeding in a grassed area at Darby River car park.
        He then perched on a tree guard closer to me. No it is definetely not a ring but yes it does look like it.

The flame robin is a small passerine bird native to Australia. It is a moderately common resident of the coolest parts of south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Like the other two red-breasted "Petroica" robins—the scarlet robin and the red-capped robin—it is often simply called the "robin redbreast". Like many brightly coloured robins of the Petroicidae, it is sexually dimorphic.
