Maybe. But fundamental to your comment, is the question: are they breeding here?

After starting pruning at a new vineyard (Surveyor Hill) today, I was delighted to be serenaded by three Pied Butcherbirds.  The recent COG Annual Bird report lists this species as rare, non-breeding visitor.  The report (as I understand it) is a compilation of information and records up till 30JUN14. Considering the amount of reports of this species from the past ten months, usually from the west and north/west of Canberra, it may be prudent to revise the status of this species in the next COG Annual Bird report. I have seen one or two  Pied Butcherbirds regularly at another vineyard (Brindabella Hills) which is only two kilometers away.

Uncommon, breeding resident may be more appropriate me thinks ?
