Alerted by call, and then treated to views for 5 minutes as it dived for prey, perched on reeds, preened and finally flew off towards the jetty.

Not really a vagrant in Canberra any more to be honest - seems to be pretty resident with evidence of breeding at the Cotter, and also many reports from other areas most years now.
