User's notes
4 pairs feeding on dry mown grassy area in cool cloudy evening. Area was extraordinarily busy at time of photo with many fast vehicles passing along Starke St just 2 metres from the birds, and a footpath with people and dogs about 8 metres the other way. We have noticed the bird presence build up very quickly this year, feeding in big Eucs over the past 3-4 warm days.
