Thanks Matthew. I was so glad to see the Frogmouth there, being present in spite of the effects of Ginninderry on the Strathnairn precinct as a once-wonderful birding place. Houses, avenues of prunus and Callistemons and infrastructure now on Scarlet and Flame Robin foraging territories.

Shame about all that development, I avoid visiting that area now as I know I will be shocked by the change.

It's shocked hundreds of people Matthew and placing 30,000 unaware people in a known embers and fire risk zone sets a criminal precedent for Denman's Stage 2. The walk from Strathnairn to Shepherds Lookout is a multi-habitat, spectacular trek. Will many human feet add to the spread of invasives across rocky grassland and woodland systems only time will tell.
