hi Sonja,
I reckon that's the case with most migratory species in Australia in that some 
small proportion of the populations don't make their annual migrations & do 
stay to "over-winter"...
 
I've been sceptical for many years as to whether Australian Black-winged 
Monarchs are migratory - even though I saw an adult near Cooktown at my study 
site in June 2012, i'm now convinced that the Auat population is indeed 
migratory, but that some number of individuals remain here to "over-winter"... 

i'm certain there are countless other examples of this in other species as 
well, no doubt...
 
cheers
