Thank you Margaret. I see that the 3 ‘priority and potential sites’ in the Canberra area are JWNR, Wet Lagoon and Rose Lagoon (labelled Tarago Lagoon). None of those is in the
list of sites with recent records, but are coded as ‘potential habitat’. However in the recent record list I spy a ‘Kelly Swamp’. This, as it happens, is a wetland feature near Warrnambool, Vic. Different swamp, different Kelly, no doubt.
Turning to eBird, I see sight records from Rose Lagoon earlier this year. I shall leave it to someone else to act on the invitation of the below co-ordinator to report missed records.
