Some strange locations for this species over the past year or two.

Hi Ben. Can you please check the location of this record? Barton is a most unusual place to see this bird.

@michaelb The location is correct. Apparently it has been present in this small thicket of deciduous trees and adjoining apartments since last year.

Amazing. Could it have moved down the Molonglo River from Kowen?

Echoing Ben's confirmation of location - a friend mentioned seeing one there (around November 2023).
