I was otherwise occupied for most of the weekend, so I only manged to survey the local bit of Ginninderra Creek on Sunday evening. The highlight was 5 Night Herons at Giralang Pond. Also, 3 Latham's Snipe downstream.

Many thanks to all who participated in COG’s bird blitz over the weekend. I’ve been (happily) inundated with eBird records and it will take me a while to get though them and get back to you if I have any queries – especially as I have non-birding visitors! Just a reminder to the hard-copy folk – do get your records prepared and either bring them to the next COG meeting on Nov 14 or mail them to COG, PO box 301, Civic Square 2608. The general consensus thus far is, it is pretty quiet out there.  I was pleased to pick up Rose Robin and Bassian Thrush (Blundells CK) and Wonga Pigeon (Blue Range Hut and de Salis Ck) and Satin Flycatcher (Lick Hole Rd) but the only raptors were kestrels (Cotter Hut), and only one Scarlet Robin (Cotter Hut). It will be most interesting to see the overall picture. Once again, many thanks to all participants. b
