Where I live in Carwoola (about 780m elevation) is pretty similar to Bungendore (about 710m) and we have White-eared Honeyeaters year round.  For the majority of Canberra - about 580m - this species migrates in, in Autumn and stays through Winter.  The graph shows the aggregate number of birds of this species reported in the GBS each week over the 30 completed weeks of the GBS.

There was a white-eared honeyeater in my yard this afternoon (Bungendore). It appeared to be feeding, possibly on a huge lavender bush that we have.

I'm just wondering, would it be expected that the honeyeaters have migrated by now?
