Highlights from twice-weekly Canberra Ornithologists' Group (COG) hotline,
for week ending 28 August (some reports are of earlier obs).
Not an outstanding week, though the first Early Nancies (Wurmbea dioicea, a
native lily), is an excellent spring indicator.

WILL OF COURSE BE UNABLE TO REPLY TO ANYTHING UNTIL THEN
