Great stuff, Shorty. First photo for CNM of this species. Looks like a juvenile so perhaps evidence of breeding.

Thanks Matthew, The 5 that were down near Nowra are missing now, so could be them?

I have a sighting from a friend for a nest on their property near Cooma - just waiting for the photo with GPS co-ords and I will upload or they will upload if they join CNM. :)
