It was so exciting to see a Rakali in the Lake again. It’s been a few years since I last saw one hear in Belconnen, ACT

Maybe they were shot. Maybe they were roadkill. Next time it might help to examine carcasses to rule out some likely explanations such as shooting or roadkill.

Random things are clumped. (Exactly even spacing is the opposite of random). So a low level of coincidence like this is not evidence of a pattern. And there is a huge amount of mortality going on in nature, mostly unnoticed. I would refrain from thinking of explanations such as poisoning or disease until and unless more information becomes available.

No. However the 4 adjacent Conservation Areas have P Norfolcensis projects with nesting boxes and they have been confirmed by several observers both in boxes and spotlighting. No P notatus have been identified in this area.
