Presumably this is because the birds have moved from their nesting locale of summer 2006-07.  At that time it was very easy to see the birds (Darters and LBCs) and their nests from the path - and this was enjoyed by the Tour de LBG group.  They didn't seem at all disturbed by the attention.

Last year they had shifted towards Sullivans Creek and it was impossible to see them from anywhere dry.

Presumably canoeists and other aquatic observers should also keep some distance away.

Hi Julian, I am keeping an eye on this breeding group and the breeding along Molonglo Reach.  Over winter there were 60+ old nests from memory, many of which have now been refurbished.  As of last week there was no breeding in comparison to the Darters along Molonglo Reach which have had young in the nest for a few weeks now.  It is not a good idea for anyone to check the nests out from the cycle path as the birds will be disturbed before you get there and, as Jack can confirm, the Ravens are waiting for such an opportunity.
