User's notes

Alerted by it's advertising call i went and stood nearby and waited for it to appear but when it did as i lifted my camera it took off. Lousy flight shots as it flew away. I could hear it calling as it slowly went up the hill for over an hour so i am guessing it is looking for a partner.
