Hi All,
Sorry I have not contributed much lately. I
suffered a computer calamity which meant I couldn't log on for 3 weeks, this
necessitated a reformat of my C drive and loss of most of what I had, then
followed by the need to reinstall things. This was really annoying,
especially as I was home for a week, whilst recovering from the unpleasantry of
having being opened up and sewn back together in Canberra Hospital on 1
February.
On 30 January, at the ANBG whilst listening to the band at the summer
concert series and watching the copulating White-faced Herons in the tree above
a few hundred people, Jonette McDonell told me of the pair Buff-banded Rails she
had seen at the pond next to O'Connor shops over the past several weeks. I
promised to post a message to COG list but haven't been able to till now. So
apologies to her for the delay on this. I see there have been a few mentions of
this since.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that I think the Hobbies have nested
in Kambah again, most likely in the first tree next to the traffic lights in the
median strip of Tuggeranong Parkway, beside Kambah shops and the Caltex station.
They have been in the area over the last several weeks at least. I have seen
four together, behaving as is usual for a pair with recently fledged young. I
haven't really been able to have a close look at them, as I haven't been able to
walk much for a month.
Philip
