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.

> Not sure whether this is of note or not, but at 8am this morning when
> weeding in section 4 (below the rockery area) we were visited by a
> pair of yellow robins. A workmate there said that they were common
> but that they haven't seen them in quite a while and had thought
> they'd moved somewhere else, so I don't know whether ours are
> migratory or not (books say that some are migratory and others
> aren't). I'd never seen them before so I was rather pleased,
> particularly as they were totally unphased by having us there weeding
> and at times were happily foraging within a metre of so from me. The
> rest of the day was spent with White-browed Scrubwrens, Eastern
> Spinebills and the like following along behind us as we weeded and
> picking up insects. Altogether a lovely way to spend a day. <grin>

> Cheers.
