Highlights from twice-weekly Canberra Ornithologists' Group (COG) hotline,
for week ending 22 January (some reports are of earlier obs).

Another quiet week - but it included our hottest day for 25 years, and the
severe drought continues. Kellys Swamp, the key Canberra wetland for birdos
has been a cracking claypan since Christmas.

BLACK KITE      16/1     Burrell Lake, near Ulladulla

KOELS   19-21/1    Throughout northern Canberra [it's worth noting that
until about 10 years ago there were only 2 records for Canberra]

KOEL    14/1    Mt Clear, in snow gums at over 1300m asl; this would be the
highest and most southern record for at least the ACT
