Off the top of my head - the Red-capped Robin is
usually an inhabitant of the dry country well west of Canberra. Canberra being
on the eastern edge of a small population of them. On that basis it wouldn't be
an altitudinal migrant. I think they have become more regular in our area than
what the ACT COG Atlas said in 1992. However isolated birds could perhaps join
in with other similar species and do some local movements with
them.
