User's notes

The struggle was real! This individual landed and got caught up in the reedy plant beside Old Boboyan Road. To free itself, it would only move backwards, which had wings and legs getting stuck very quickly. Finally, it fell out onto the ground and sat contemplating the saga for a bit. Interesting to watch. Moving forward would have saved the effort and nothing would have caught, but, that must have been an inbuilt instinct.
