User's notes

There was a pair down at the river. I was drawn to them as they moved between the rocks in the middle of the river. I was drawn to watching this female, with her white face marking her gender. She was flying between the more widely spaced rocks, as seen in photo three. I thought she was drinking but the second photo shows she also found some food. During the time I had her under observation she was moving backwards and forwards over the same group of rocks.
