User's notes

Same bird as sighting 4249560 nearby. Sadly, after two days of moving around high in different trees to escape harassment by other birds, we found it dead on the ground. No visible injuries, but noisy miners and magpie larks had come within pecking distance and we also saw a currawong nearby watching it. ACT Wildlife advised it was too difficult to capture without injury.
