Certainly I have always regarded EYRs as common residents at ANBG because I 
don't believe I have ever visited the gardens and not seen them, regardless of 
time of year.

> As far as I know this species is resident in the ANBG.

> There is a well known resident pair in the Rainforest Gully which according
> to my records bred - I observed dependent young in March 2005.
> Usually during the colder months I have also encountered a pair around the

> Interestingly the 1974 bird list for the botanic gardens has the Eastern
