Ecology of the Red-capped Robin in a fragmented landscape.

Female Red-capped Robins are brown in colour with a pale reddish wash on their head. The nests of these birds are beautiful open cups made of bark, grass and spiders web. The outside of the nest is often decorated with lichen which aids in camouflage.
