User's notes

I startled a currawong as I was walking along a track. The currawong grabbed its prey (a starling) and took off with it. It was a bit unwieldy for the currawong and it dropped it on the track. The currawong hung around until I walked past and was joined by another currawong. The original currawong eventually grabbed the dead starling and flew awkwardly away with it.
