User's notes

If the lorikeets had not made a noise in the tree they were in I probably would have missed the Grey Butcherbird silently perched in that tree. It was not calling, just observing its surroundings. I thought one of the lorikeets was going to chase it away but the Lorikeet was just moving past the butcherbird. The butcherbird did eventually fly to another tree, before it decided to fly north towards Red Hill itself.
