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.
