Given the Scarlet Robin breeding season is no doubt getting underway, and
following the recent release of the ACT's Draft Action for the Scarlet Robin,
its timely to emphasise again the importance of improving our knowledge of
breeding behaviours and of up-to-date breeding sites for this species in the
ACT and region. While sightings of the Scarlet Robin of course continue and are
widespread throughout the ACT's lowlands, particularly during the winter
months, there are relatively few breeding records for this species locally,
especially recent records. Knowledge of the location of breeding and breeding
success will be crucial in taking any worthwhile steps towards conservation of
this species in the years to come.
Therefore detailed records (eg. submitted to COG, Canberra Nature Map, eBird)
from all locations in the ACT, together with precise geographic co-ordinates,
but particularly breeding records, are very welcome. These records, once
submitted in the public domain, will be able to be taken account of by ACT
Government officers in taking management actions to conserve the species.

If anyone's interested in locations:
A male Scarlet Robin was sighted on the fence some 50m west of the entry to
Ginninderry HOmestead on Parkwood Road. This was on Thursday 7th at 10.30.
A female Scarlet Robin was sighted in the excellent Mt Majura plantings area
70m to the east of the "development" on the corner of the Federal Highway and
Antill Street, Watson. This was at 13.20.
The Strathnairn Scarlet Robins are still visible when I visit.
