Hello Everyone,

They're back along the Molonglo River near the bridge at the
back of the RSPCA.  We saw at least 6 today.

Tina et al,

Where exactly is this? I have so far managed to see a single rainbow bee eater a couple of years ago on a BOG walk, but would very much like to see more of them. Any pointers? When you say "at the back of" the RSPCA where are you meaning? I know the RSPCA in Weston, but am not aware of a bridge behind it? What road is it on? Do you have to walk far from the bridge? Advice anyone?

We've seen Rainbow Bee-eaters every summer for the past several years on Mt Pleasant near where the road to the summit goes past the obstacle course. I've been out of Canberra for the past few weeks so I don't know if they are back there this year.

Nick
