Hi John - looks like you're getting your eye in for the slight difference between these and the more common Tau Emerald. Since my last comment about not have seen many of these this season, I've since seen quite a few, particularly in the deeper pondages of northern Canberra/Gungahlin. I think, for whatever reason, they were just later this year.

I still haven't been able to get one to sit and pose for me.
