User's notes

There was a White-faced Heron high in a dead tree further alone the creek, calling out. It did not have much luck as I did not hear any response and it was regularly chased off by magpies. It was chased off when I first saw it and about an hour later it must have returned but was chased off again. It flew off in a north-westerly direction, possibly towards the Molonglo River.
