Jacana still evident at Rowes Lagoon this morning.

Does it count as a twitch if you walk five doors from home to see the White- fronted Honeyeater?  That was easy, although I did have to wait whilst it made its rounds of the other bushes that it liked to visit in the neighbourhood.
The Asian Dowitcher in Newcastle was very easy.  I haven’t seen reports of it since though.  There was a raptor about, which aided our search by putting the birds up and shifting their position when they resettled.  Perhaps it was its next meal?

Regards

My two easiest ACT twitches were quicker still, Martin - birds seen or heard before even getting out of the car. Singing Honeyeater singing loudly in a north Canberra suburb, and Peaceful Dove feeding by a farm gate along Cotter Road.

Second easiest twitch for me: found it within 3 minutes of pulling off the highway! 

The easiest was a Painted Snipe at Kellys some years ago, when I walked across to a set up scope, peered through it, and got the tick.  Today, I had to set up the scope myself.
