Diamond firetails Wee Jasper - along the road to Carey's cave, esp the bit close to the village where there are trees before it opens out, also seen them recently along the road from Canberra to Wee Jasper about 5-10 from Wee Jasper. However
they are unpredictable things.

A curiously small response to the list. I think it was the 2013 (or 2012) COG Blitz day that I watched a pair doing the courtship dance on the power lines over the old road at Point
Hut. (The road that previously went from the parking area to the main road that is now closed off). So anywhere in suitable habitat south of there in ACT is reasonably possible, whether likely enough for someone to arrive at random and be able to take photos
is another matter. Also the picnic area at Googong dam.

I almost always see them when I do the COG Blitz at Castle Hill. Sometimes many. Last year I think only one. But that is private property along the Boboyan road after Tharwa about
4 km towards Tidbinbilla.

I’ve had a query from a friend in Melbourne. She has 2 friends who are coming to Canberra and are keen to photograph diamond firetails. I see those birds
occasionally, mostly along the Time Trail at Tidbinbilla. Does anyone know of reliable sites where they may be sighted?
