This is the first confirmed breeding record of the Blue-faced Honeyeater in the Australian Capital Territory.

One of the very young ones left the nest as I arrived.

@MatthewFrawley, I think it is the first confirmed record but there were 2 older juveniles around and 2 immature feeding the young and there have been records of older juveniles in the last couple of years so I would think they have breed here before.

Listed as significant, is this also a sighting you would submit to the COG rarities panel @rawshorty ?

Not on their list to be reported but have emailed the chatline so the word is out there @MatthewFrawley.
