Hi all

I have been carrying out a 3 monthly bird survey on a property at Baxter on the 
Mornington Peninsula, southern Victoria for the past 12 months.  On 2 occasions 
24/8/07 and 24/5/07 Flame Robins, red and brown birds, were recorded and in 
numbers greater than 20.

Flame Robin come to the Mornington Peninsula usually late autumn and leave 
again before the summer.  I don't know if it is known if the birds come across 
from Tasmania or from the Victorian Alps - or a mixture of both.

The question - As I usually only see flame robins in ones and twos in other 
areas did I just happen to see the birds as they were getting ready to leave 
[24/8] and had just arrived ]24/5] or are they often seen in large numbers?

Regards
Val
Sorrento, Vic
