Just wait a few years and Google Earth will zoom in close enough to capture a timestamped, fully georeferenced, image of both observer and target bird.

I bet the modern photographic evidence is taking a lot of the fun out of being on the rarities panel -  but shouldn't the bird be sitting on a copy of the day's Canberra Times to provide incontrovertible evidence for the date data at least?  Or perhaps this could be arranged through post-processing?  Probable including a GPS shot with lat/longs and date/time would wrap it up.

Dear Rarities Panel

 

Young Geoffrey seems to be a bit reluctant to re-enter the Gardens, so I have had to pick up the slack.  Possibly it wasn't enough of a challenge for him, with a bird posing about 2m from the observers. 

 

The bird was in pretty much the spot reported by others (the Banksia ericifolia just past the CSIRO gate is rather hard to miss) and seem today by myself and Maurits Zwankhuisen between about 1:30 and 2:00 pm.
