User's notes
Baldy and partner chewing on an old candlebark trunk and twigs of Acacia decurrens, and indulging in a bit of mutual grooming. They then flew lower to say hello before flying off to a small E. blakelyi where they appeared to be feeding on insects. It was hard to see what he was doing, but she repeatedly pulled something from the same place with her beak and then manipulated it with her claws to eat it. It looked like it could have been sawfly larvae and I saw some on the ground under the same branch the next day.
