Any sighting of Rosernberg's in the Canberra area is significant because of its rarity and current research interest

Hi Kym. Many thanks for this record. We have had very few sightings of this species on Mt Ainslie in the last couple of years compared to the years before. Their face markings enable individuals to be recognised. Therefore it would be nice to get a higher resolution photo from you if you dont mind sending one to don.fletcher@emailme.com.au . cheers
