Is this a first breeding record for the Blue-faced Honeyeater in the ACT?

@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 ?
