Thank you to Ryu for the canberrabirds notification and certainly the same two birds that Kumiko submitted yesterday. Turns out this is my 200th bird species for the ACT, happy days.

There were a number of people there early this morning, of all ages, very happy to see these birds. Word had spread quickly. Nice to see that twitching is alive and well in Canberra.
