Many thanks for following this up.  This certainly lends support to
the Bass Straight migration of Flame Robins.  There is no need for a
major banding effort to prove this once and for all though.  Northern
Wheatears (similar in size to Flame Robins) have been tracked from
Alaska to sub-Saharan Africa with 1.4g gadgets. Stick a few of these
on Robins in northern Tassy in late March and we should know the
answer.
