User's notes
The bird stayed high up in the tree and I think there were at least two around with the other one also staying high up, in one case, on a dead tree, as seen in the photograph. They continued their calls regularly. I saw them fly low through the trees, unsure if this was part of the aerial displays I read about. I just thought the colours on the bird were spectacular.
