User's notes

Suspect either Flame or Scarlet Robin - not sure. At that elevation in winter, may be more likely a Scarlet Robin as Flames are reported to be down lower. Poor image snapped on the phone camera before they disappeared. Pair were having a bath in water stream trickling down Old Boboyan Road, just north of Hospital Creek Hut area.

I personally rarely see scarlets at higher elevations, mostly flames, and this one is a very bright male
