I knew they had been seen in this area, but couldn't work out from the descriptions quite where. I visited the Acacia Inlet area this afternoon to do some bird photography. Right at the head of the inlet (near all the roadworks), just past the bushes, I looked down and saw the female sulking round the bases of the reeds, just at this point the male burst out of the reeds and flew across the inlet to the reeds on the east side of the peninsula. It flew high and looked like a big butterfly with its black wings and golden shoulder patches. This was all at 3pm in bright sunshine! -- John Leonard Canberra Australia www.jleonard.net ******************************************************************************************************* This is the email announcement and discussion list of the Canberra Ornithologists Group.
