User's notes

I saw a number of birds flying around a group of trees. I think there were several species in those trees but the birds that I was able to photograph were White-plumed Honeyeaters. There was at least one adult and one immature bird. They moved between the trees on both sides of the road, often flying between branches in the same tree. I could not see exactly what they were doing but I am guessing they were feeding. If they were indeed looking for food then the immature bird was probably capable of finding food itself because I did not see the adult feed it.
