Front view of a juvenile ca. 1.5 month old eastern yellow robin being held by a certified bird bander after being banded with metal and colour band. Yellow breast with greyish mottled head and upper body juvenile plumage. Measurements suggest female bird. Pinkish beak is open as she was squawking right before being released back in her territory near the adults.

It’s Aussie Bird Count week and this juvenile eastern yellow robin has definitely been counted! She’s part of a long term study and just been banded to help with monitoring and understanding the complex life history of these beautiful birds. #MistNetting #Science #BirdCount #SunshineCoastHinterland
