Glossy Black-Cockatoo
Mt Majura nature reserve, Hackett
Three Glossy Black-Cockatoos on Mt Majura this afternoon about 4.15. They were perched in clear view on the very large dead tree next to the main track (Blue Metal Road) up from the top of Grayson Street. This tree is on the right of the track as you climb up, about the level of the first dam you come to. It's good to see them back. They were a pair with a noisy youngster.

Australian Reed-warbler
Lake Ginninderra, MacDermott Place boat ramp
A group of us did a circumnavigation of Lake Ginniderra, and in the vicinity of the boat ramp at MacDermott Place we observed this Australian Reed-warbler. It was originally in the reeds but ascended a casuarina as we watched, apparently searching for food. As far as I remember, it was silent the whole time.
I think it has been proposed previously that some A. reed-warblers might stay through winter but are generally overlooked as they are not calling through this period. We observed an A. reed-warbler last year in the same location, on 31 July 12010.
