Hi Tony
Long time no visit, i am afraid.
Been too busy - water issues and house renovations all at the same time.
Your Robin has collected more insects than the insects have collected birds. I doubt that the tick would trouble the bird too much, except for the location near the eye.
I have found native animals with numerous ticks and no problems at all. Evolution and adaptation are great answers to things which trouble we humans and our domesticated animals (as we have not evolved here, to develop resistance to tick bites).
Interesting snakes too.

Hi Denis: Need to renovate the big House in Canberra to sort out water issues. The only ticks I fret about are any burrowing into me.
Hi Tony.
Well I totally agree with the first comment, and probably the second too.
Cheers
Denis
