A small flock of around 25 flew over. About half landed high up on the window sills of the Lovatt Building while the rest kept flying.

First image - right bird looks like Long-billed or very prominent hybrid.

@AlisonMilton maybe best to make a separate sighting for the long bill/hybrid

Okay thanks. They were pretty high up so hard to get good photos. Looking at the best ones I don't think it is a long-bill as the bill is too short, so maybe a hybrid.

Thanks. Many of the Canberra birds are hybrids (some over many generations), and there are few pure breed Long-billeds remaining.
