User's notes

The kookaburra was shadowed by a pied currawong (not pictured). I watched them both for about 10 minutes, in which time the currawong followed the kookaburra to three different perches. The currawong wasn't harassing the kookaburra, just hanging around nearby. Maybe waiting for the spoils of the kookaburra's hunts?
