Neophema chrysogaster

After breeding in SW Tasmania, birds move N in Mar-Apr through Bass Strait islands, notably King I where some birds stop over Apr-Jun and a few remain throughout the non-breeding period, but most wintering from late Mar to early Oct on SE Australian coast between the Coorong and Gippsland, the majority of the tiny population concentrating at Port Phillip Bay and the coastal dunes between Kingston and the Victoria border.
