In reply to Martins questions my understanding is yes to all of the above (or below)

It seems that the southern birds come in from Indonesia and cross largely uninhabited areas. It has been suggested that the north Qld birds arrive from PNG.

On migration they only seem to call in the early morning if at all.

Regards,

Alan

PS One bird observed in the garden mid morning.

Does that mean that they:

 1. migrate at night (so are not seen); and/or
 2. they don't waste energy calling on migration (so aren't heard); or
 3. follow migration routes that avoid human habitation?
