[The Common Bronze-wing was plentiful in many parts 

 of the south-western division, and extended inland. It was 

 not so numerous in the western division. For some reason 

 this species is said to be disappearing in Western Australia. 

 In the extreme coastal districts it is replaced by P. eleyans. 

 It is migratory, especially in the interior, being more 

 plentiful after rains. — G. C. S.~\
