Black Kite
Kellys Swamp & Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Fyshwick
Bird seen in close company with a Whistling Kite which allowed good comparison of the two kite species. Appeared to be similar size. Most diagnostic feature was forked tail, but the bird also had darker more uniformed dorsal plumage. Wings appeared to be held horizontally.
ABR states, 'more usually [seen] in late spring and summer'.

Pink Robin
Australian National Botanic Gardens
Cold, light rain at times. Unsuccessful search for Powerful Owl, the tree it had occupied on the weekend was empty, and a thorough-ish search elsewhere in the rainforest gully failed to find it.
Pink Robin (1). A brown bird seen three times on both sides of the rainforest gully, all sightings probably refer to the same individual. Very active and confiding, at one stage bouncing across the path barely 2 metres from me.
