Hi David

Take Ginninderra Drive out to Dunlop, turn left into Archdall Street 
then right into Hugh McKay Crescent.  Follow the crescent until you 
see an unnamed road signposted to Jarramlee Homestead with a raised 
bar gate about 40 metres down..  Turn  down that road and follow it 
for a few hundred metres until you see a horse stile on your 
left.  Park on the open ground beside the stile then walk along the 
horse trail (actually part of the Bicentennial Horse Trail).
The variety of birds starts with the Fairy Martin colony under the 
low-level bridge  over Ginninderra Creek and continues right along 
the trail.  Keep a particular eye open towards the creek as many of 
the species use that as a spine and may sit in the dead willows along 
its course.  The red-backed kingfishers are about 1 km along in an 
area where the trail turns fairly sharply left towards some old 
sewage pump buildings.  If you want to get closer to the creek in 
that area, continue along the trail for about 500 metres.  After 
turning right again it eventually  passes a 'climb-through' gate that 
gives easy access to the paddocks.
Incidentally my message yesterday about birds in the area should have 
included square H11 as the boundary between the squares runs very 
close to the latter part of the trail.
Best of luck!
