User's notes

Landed on powerlines for 30 seconds before flying away. By amazing conicidence I was reading in the December COG Gang Gang newsletter that there had been no reports of White-headed Pigeons, and when I looked up there was one right in front of me.

Nice record, a rather rare visitor to the ACT, all sightings I have been aware of have been "untwitchable" since the bird is only present very briefly, so definitely a great bird to see in the ACT.
