User's notes

About five Double-barred Finches flew in from the north-east, possibly swooping a group of White-eared Honeyeaters. They did not land in the bushes where the honeyeaters were but in a bush further away on the opposite side of the track. They then flew to the grass on the north side of the track. They hopped through the short grass, in an uphill direction, apparently eating the grass seeds. I lost sight of them once they went over a slight bump in the ground.
