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 Wet Lagoon earlier this year and photo records from Rose Lagoon Feb last year. I shall leave it to someone else to act on the invitation
of the below co-ordinator to report missed records. Depends what ‘recent’ means, I suppose.
