User's notes

Possibly usurpers from 'the tribe'. There used to be a breeding pair at the corner of Kingsford-Smith Drive and Drake-Brockman Drive: still here a week ago. Perhaps they have retreated back across the road to the farm, which is also part of their territory. This trio is non-breeding to my knowledge and if I'm correct, have only just 'moved in'.
