Thanks Alistair,
So they are presumably present in the snow. Had never seen them there
previously.

We heard (but did not see) Flame Robins at Thredbo in the first week of
September.

Basically there is a big gap around the snowfields. Whether that means
- skiers don't bird, or
- birders don't like snow; or
- Flame Robins don't like snow
is open to debate.
I hope the image in the blogpost is reasonable - I couldn't persuade the
birding-aus website to allow me to post the image there.
