User's notes

The willy wagtails are out at the moment singing their best songs in search for a mate. That nice song is in stark contrast to the harsh cackacackacacka we will hear come summertime when they protect their newborns. Also important: when searching for a mate in a field of grass you must get the best vantage point.
