Nikolas,
Here in the Blue Mountains (NSW) it seems to be an altitudinal
movement of Flame Robins. They're present in the higher parts of the
mountains during spring-summer-autumn but move down into the valleys
such as the Megalong and Capertee for winter. During the 1980s and
90s there was a pair in my local park (in Katoomba) in all months of
the year but that was unusual, and sadly I no longer see these
beautiful birds in that particular park.
Rose Robins are around all year but move into more open habitats
during autumn and winter.
Cheers,
Carol

Glenise,
March 29, we had a 'brown' Flame Robin at Evan's Lookout (Blue
Mountains, NSW) [and a pair of Rose Robins at Mount Wilson, NSW]
March 31, my friend Exley Steward had a 'red' Flame Robin and a Rose
Robin at Royal NP, NSW.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] RFI: Flame Robin movement in Victoria
Hi Birdoes,
I would like to hear details of your first sightings of Flame Robins
this autumn.
I have been monitoring their arrival and movement through Sedgwick,(near
Bendigo) for several years and wondered if a pattern of their movement
across the state could be noticed by the first observations of this
species. I would like to know the ratio of red to brown birds and if
any have bands.
Regards, Glenise Moors.
