Nice find Richard. After getting your email I let a few birders know about it and there are some very happy people in Canberra today :)

Great get! Better yet, one of the 2 or 3 birds was a young bird being fed and having regular snoozes. Could very well be the first breeding record of this species in the ACT. And thanks to Shortly for the heads up.
