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.

I still have a few to go before I get 200, but not far off.

Congratulations on your 200th bird species Matthew. The Canberra Nature Map and COG are a great way to keep up with the latest sightings as well.
