User's notes
A group of Superb Fairy-wrens were in a grove of tightly-packed small trees around what is usually a run-off stream from where the water tanks are but the stream was completely dry. The fairy-wrens were in a thicket but the male stood out, often coming to the top branches of the thicket or to the ground away from cover. There were at least two females in the group. They were feeding, with a female catching a fly as big as its beak, but it was still able to eat it.
