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
