In about the same location (but perhaps nearer Gummiuk), a single BtNh
was feeding vigorously on long grass seedheads today between 11 and
noon. Unconcerned by two people standing within 5m of it.
Also seen at the edge of the bay south of McDermott Place: spotted first
on the ground under a gum, a Grey Shrike Thrush (adult male by dark
bill) moved into a casuarina, and began to sing loudly - when we
returned 10 minutes later it was still singing, and was joined (within a
metre) in the tree by an Olive-backed Oriole.

Riding around Lake Ginninderra at 7am today I saw a single B-tN-h
about halfway between Bargang Beach and Gummiuk Beach, south of Mott Pl.
It was on grass beside reeds, and stayed there while I watched it from
about 4m away. I've never seen this bird before so was particularly
delighted
that it didn't take fright when I stopped.
