Thanks Sandra, from the eBird map since 1 January 2018, the closest sighting is at Burrier on the Shoalhaven about 80 km to the E, and the closest sightings in the past month are from the Shoalhaven Heads Inlet about
100 km distant. So perhaps a little more likely than the one found very early on at Wentworth on the confluence of the Darling and Murray River, though
the eBird map shows a rare record of 3 birds at Calperum Station in SA about 100 km to the W on 16 June 2026, as well as other records of this species moving up the Murray River, the closest being a bird at Bowhill over 200
km away on 14 July 2026. Regards Jack Holland

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Bird flu detected in Goulburn
NSW list of affected sites now includes Goulburn (a Great Crested Tern). Surprising (what is a Great Crested Tern doing in Goulburn?) but worrying.
