User's notes
While I was walking along a trail a a male Satin Bowerbird appeared from the south-east, from the area towards the Federal Golf Club, flying up the hill. It landed in a tree that was just beside me. He started on one branch but kept hopping up to other branches. He reached out to grab something from the tree but I could not make out if it was an insect or a piece of bark. Then, he flew off, further up the hill to the north-west.
