May I have 2 bob EW?

My memory - assisted by a scan of my past ACT Atlas records- is that the lake Ginninderra Night-herons, which I have always taken as a post breeding dispersion - have been evident in November(ish).  Thus a young bird at Kellys could also be a tourist from elsewhere. 

That being said there have been reports of an adult bird roosting in the willow opposite Bittern hide so  perhaps there was a nest there?

I'm not sure whether it has any relevance but there has been a juvenile Night Heron hanging around Kellys, as well as an adult.....possible breeding in the area?
