User's notes

There are now two Spotted Doves heard and seen in our mid-Flynn area. They have spread here from being 200m to the east for over a decade. I assume they are nesting as it's rare to see two SDs simultaneously. Crested pigeons have been in the area for decades, their numbers increasing over time.
