User's notes

There was a group of about four Superb Fairy-wrens near the old footbridge. They were in the low trees there. There was at least one female and one male in the group. Looking at my photographs I could see a number of shots of the female calling but only one with the male calling. The male had some blue on his body but not much. Two of them, a male and female, went to a branch at about my eye level where they preened each other and occasionally called. They stayed on that branch for about five minutes at least before, first the female, and then the male descended to the ground, where they looked as if they were searching for food along the creek bank.
