Bush Stone-curlew at Booroomba Rocks?

["David McDonald (Personal) via Canberrabirds " <>]

Greetings. This unconfirmed eBird report is of interest:

 

Bush Stone-curlew (Burhinus grallarius) (Exotic: Naturalized) (1)

- Reported Oct 12, 2026 10:42 by Anonymous eBirder

- Namadgi National Park--Booroomba Rocks, track and carpark, Australian Capital Territory

- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=-35.56771,148.99246&ll=-35.56771,148.99246

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S401545931

- Comments: "On a log, off the trail. Quick ground bird. Skinny chicken. Black and white . Apparently, these are being released into the park -- according to visitor centre"

 

While I imagine that the evidence presented by ‘Anonymous eBirder’ may not be very convincing to our fine eBird Reviewer, can anyone enlarge on the statement that the Stone-curlews are being released in Namadgi NP?

 

Best wishes – David
