Interesting, the last record I can find was 6 months ago and it is unlikely to have gone undetected at JWNR for so long given the attention the bird received after the first report last year. A new individual, the same individual returning, or perhaps one of the hybrids?
Worth dropping a note on the chatline assuming the date is correct and you've seen this bird in the past week.

Ok thanks Ryu, I'll send a brief email to the chatline,
Cheers, Roy.

Roy, I have checked this out with Geoffrey Dabb and he has confirmed as the hybrid. Chris
