A probably juvenile male Common Cicadabird was making its way down the hill through the canopies of eucalyptus trees. It was often in company with the female White-winged Triller in another sighting. I thought I heard a pardalote as well in the trees but I did not get a photograph of one if it was there.

I was surprised because as far as I am aware, Cicadabirds are rare summer migrants to the ACT. They are usually only found in the ranges around Canberra apart from occasional passage migrants recorded at widespread localities in Canberra. I am unaware of any previous records for Red Hill, so a good record.

Yes a remarkable record I think in that location this late in the season. Even records in the ranges are few and far between and I can't recall any records of birds passing through the suburbs in the last several years.

Hi Ryu, Many thanks for that info. I am really happy the photos turned out as I was not sure what bird I was photographing at the time. Many thanks for taking the time to pass on that info. All the best, Jon
