Leg band appears to be red with lettering BLO on visible side- see photo. Must be of relevance to somebody.

Details on how to report a bird here, but you need the details of the bands on both legs: https://www.dcceew.gov.au/science-research/bird-bat-banding/get-involved/report-band-sightings

I did this for a Black Swan sighting in Tuggeranong back in 2020: Cygnus atratus (Black Swan)

Will have a look into that reporting system. Appreciate the info.
