From Georgina Kitching, Isle of Jura, UK, and previously Twizel, New Zealand
I am disappointed to see that the photograph accompanying your report on “perfect husband” robins is of a species from the wrong continent (29 April, p 17). New Zealand robins may not have the red breast of their European or American namesakes but they are beautiful birds that deserve a splash in New Scientist.
The editor writes:
• We have replaced the photo in the online versions of this report with one of the species studied, the North Island New Zealand robin, Petroica longipes – sadly, not feeding its mate.
