These are the Reporting Rates (sightings per month/Surveys per month), using data going back to 1974. As you can see, the lowest rates are in April and October, but the rates through the middle of winter are quite high.
I would be interested to hear people’s views as to why this pattern has emerged from the data.
Cheers

Subject: [canberrabirds] Non-migratory red wattlebirds
There is a banksia tree in Wanniassa that commences flowering in autumn, and flowers through winter. A couple of red wattlebirds have lived permanently near that tree since I moved in in 1998. Other RWBs are to be found nearby all the year round also. I am surprised to hear they are migratory.
