Apparently, Apostlebirds had only been recorded once in the ACT, way back in the Summer of 1948 when 6 birds were recorded in Hall, until this bird was first reported by Tony Nairn on 28/9/16. They are a bird of the drier inland regions to the north and west- the nearest populations are approximately 150kms away. Like choughs, they live in groups, so the fact that this bird appears to be alone is also interesting.
