Social media (eg instagram and facebook) and citizen science websites like this one i(Naturalist) and ebird.org make it easy to be alerted when uncommon visitors come to town...so when a little red-backed kingfisher popped up in some Canberra bushland, I jumped on the bandwagon.
For me, this was only the second time I'd seen a red-backed kingfisher...plus during my visits to the Campbell Park woodland, I also spotted my first owlet-nightjar, and some nesting little corollas...so it broke up the monotony of lockdown just a little.
