Swamp Harrier
Jerrabomberra Grassland NR
A very dark (first year) Swamp Harrier was soaring over Jerrabomberra Grassland NR (west) this morning at around 11:55. It was an incongruous sight among the model aeroplanes against the vivid blue winter sky!

Double-banded Plover
Jerrabomberra Turf Farm
Late this afternoon (16:45) a single Double-banded Plover was at the eastern end of the southern most puddle at the Turf Farm, adjacent to the Monaro Highway. It flew off with Black-fronted Plovers almost immediately and I was unable to relocate it.

Hoary-headed Grebe
Fyshwick Sewage Treatment Plant
Hoary-headed Grebe (22) - obviously a recent influx as there has been a solitary bird for at least the past month. Also Australasian Shoveler (8) up from 0 in recent weeks.

Red-browed Treecreeper
Australian National Botanic Gardens
One watched at close range feeding in a large Eucalyptus mannifera in the Sydney Gully. Likely to be the same individual as that reported by John Leonard about 3 weeks ago.
