User's notes

This pair flew in and landed jusst in front of me. As I went to walk past, rather than fly away the male decided he'd come and have a go at me despite there being no young to protect. Quite cheeky.

Interesting, I've only been confronted by them when they have dependent young in tow. Perhaps they have a nest tree nearby?
