User's notes

The Track family again - in their hollow tree, two weeks after fledging. The fledgling was more confident than the last time I'd seen her, and I watched as she flew off, leading her parents on a bit of a chase, going from tree to tree. As soon as one of the parents landed in her tree, she'd be off again, and they'd follow. Eventually, they seemed to settle in one of the tall eucalypts close to their hollow. In these photos, the fledgling is with dad, preening and chewing. Mum is above, eating the shoots (I think).
