User's notes

One of three sites of Satin Bowerbirds at the Botanic Gardens, though technically, this one is outside of the gardens. No females seen nearby but he has an impressive collection decorating his bower. I left a couple of tokens for him and not content on taking just one, he managed to collect both at the same time.
