Frank's comments are right. The following is the text from the GBS Report:
 

Black-faced Monarch Monarcha melanopsis

A species of the forests of the Great Dividing Range that rarely reaches the ACT. It has been known to pass through some quite unusual habitat (such as open woodland at Mulligan?s Flat) in its time here (mainly because there is little suitable habitat here). The few GBS records, are all of one individual and mostly in late February to March, two in November and one in May. There is not enough in this to suggest any trends.
Rank: 149, A = 0.00018, F = 0.58%, W = 0.5, R = 0.018%, G = 1.00.

P.S.. Actually the trend would be that it passes through in late spring heading south, then going north again late summer or early autumn. I don't know about the May observation.
