User's notes

At least seven females. Didn't see a male or a bower, but they spent a lot of time chasing each other three the tree tops, then a few landed on the ground and seemed to be collecting nesting material from the ivy covering the ground. Photo 3 - perhaps preening after bathing in the nearby creek.
