 The Hooded Robin is an uncommon, sedentary species of dry eucalypt
woodlands. Sensitive to disturbance and human presence, their numbers
are in decline and it is one of six species officially declared endangered
or vulnerable in the ACT. There are only a few places in the ACT where
they are found, and they are extremely unlikely to occur in suburban
gardens.
Generally in pairs, they feed on insects found on or near the
ground, and are usually seen perching on stumps or fences, which they
use as observation posts. The male is black and white with a distinctive
black hood over the head and chest, while the female is dark greyish.
There are 12 records from eight GBS sites, mainly in fringe
suburban habitats or on rural properties such as on the Sutton Road.
