As I posted to Birdline ACT, 4 of us saw Mr. Bittern today at around 4pm.
Another accidental flush, he took off from the short reeds towards the
left-hand corner of the pond (facing the pond from the road), and settled in
the open for a minute, before flying off into the thicker reeds on the far
side. Awesome views!!
Picture considerably shrunk for email to the chatline - full size (and a few
other shots) can be found on my Flickr page, here:

A couple of my Sydney teenage birdwatcher friends are having a crack at it
tomorrow morning, I'll report to here if they see it.
