User's notes
The bird was initially perched on a dried branch sprouting from a log before it flew slightly to the west. It was not flying to the upper branches but staying close to the ground, occasionally landing on the ground. There may have been some juveniles as two birds appeared to have a lighter coloured plumage on their back and a duller red on the front but I could not get a photo of them. The male was calling regularly while I was watching him.
