Poorly understood; apparently some resident and some migratory populations. Breeding birds sedentary in C
Australia unless forced to move by drought; dry season (austral winter and spring) breeding migrant to N
Australia, withdrawing from tropical coasts in wet season; avoids CW Australia in summer. Occasional minor
irruptions to S and E parts of range during inland drought. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds),
1994)
