User's notes
I first saw two pairs in one tree with one male, photo one. One male, the “non-dominant one” departed from that tree. Looking at the photos, I saw the male that departed had a single black plume, photo one, which is similar to a bird I had previously photographed in the same area. Unsure if it was the same bird or an indication of a juvenile. This male was joined by a female. I also noticed there was another pair close by giving a total of six birds in three pairs. Most of them joined together in a dead tree to the south-west of where they initially had been, photos two, three and five. They all joined together to have a “calling” clash with a galah.
