User's notes
There were at least three Pintails on this dead tree and they were moving fast. Two of them came together, with one putting its head down like an angry bull and possibly pushing the other off the bark. I was really surprised at their continuous pace, they barely stopped as they roamed around the bark. I was not sure what they were looking for because there were no flowers on this tree. (Sorry, this is January, I am catching up with some photos I have.)

Hi Kim, Many thanks for the comment. That was really the only time that I have noticed them at our place but now I know about them I will keep an eye out for them. Cheers
