Thanks for the record, a few hardy souls still out there before the Canberra chill truly sets in :-)

Yes indeed. Several species seem to be hanging on with the mild weather for longer than they did in the previous couple of years. Including Tau Emeralds, Wandering Ringtails and Aurora Bluetails that I saw at a small dam on Black Mountain today. Slender and Blue Ringtails are still about at a few locations but they are some of the last to disappear. I've also been a little surprised at how long the Unicorn Darners persisted at a couple of River sites (e.g. Coppins Crossing and Murrays Corner) this year. Will be worth a check this weekend to see if they've succumbed yet.
