Its reassuring sightings continue to be made of this species locally, but of course, more sightings are welcone. We also recorded it at the Bega Wetlands Bioblitz at Bega on November 18. See The Canberra Times article last Sunday reporting return of the species in some numbers to Mt Gingera this year eg.:
