Milburn
Did it look like the one in the attachment? I took this one on 2 January (I think) in Lake Burley Griffin where people sail model yachts at the end of Telopea Park. I seem to have misplaced the full-sized photograph.

    Its probably the same bird though.

I saw what was probably the same bird about a week ago, on Burley Griffin, near the outlet of the creek that drains Telopea Park. I did not have my glasses, let alone my binoculars, but I looked for, and thought I saw, a white shield. It did not dive during the five minutes or so that I watched it but appeared to be picking something off the surface of the water.
