I
notice this message also went to what
is that listing? There doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the Canberra
Birds site. Is it an 'exclusive' list for the 'serious'
birdos?

Just back from Jerrabomberra Wetlands. After about an hour and three
quarters of searching by a group of perhaps a dozen of us, I eventually lucked
onto the bird perched in the top of a mainly bare branched poplar right near
Fulica hide. I was alone at that particular point in time but whistled in the
others who were still around - they arrived running just as the bird
disappeared!
Another ten minutes of searching in the area and the bird was relocated
and most got at least some views of the bird. Phone calls to others who had
left earlier brought them haring back and as I left Anthony Overs and Martyn
Mofatt had returned. Those who I know saw the bird were Milburn, Damien
Farine, Alastair Smith, Yarden Oren and Frank Antram.
I'm sure other reports will follow...

A single White-fronted Honeyeater in
a small flowering gum within 50 metres of Fulica Hide at about 11.10
am. Fulica is the first hide you come to after crossing the big wooden
bridge. Also in the area were Yellow-tufted (1), Fuscous (3+), White-plumed
(5+), New Holland (5+), and White-eared Honeyeaters (1), as well
as many Red Wattlebirds. A lot of the eucs in this area have flowers on
them.
I had the bird in view for 5-10 seconds from
about 10 metres away. A sparrowhawk with an appalling sense of timing then
flew through, and although I had a quick search for about 15 minutes I
couldn't find the WFHE, or many other honeyeaters, again. Hopefully it's
still there somewhere!
cheers
