Just some information for the list regarding Flame Robin's in south east
Australia.
The Victorian Ornithological Research Group (VORG) has a number of on-going
surveys, one of which is banding of Flame Robins to determine their
movements throughout Victoria.
The web site mentions the following:
'The banding of Flame Robins takes place in Cobram, on the Murray River, once a
year.
Members of VORG and other interested parties camp in a State Forest over the
Queens Birthday weekend in June. During this time mist
nets are set up every evening in the nearby orchards where the robins are known
to roost at night.
Some trapping, using spring traps, is also carried out in the Forest during the
day.
This project has been running for a number of years. '
