User's notes

Sadly, I believe this is a pair of glossy blacks who were raising a nestling, but the nest seems to have failed - there was no sign of a fledgling. The last two photos are of a third glossy, an adult male. I think he was also part of a breeding pair, but something seems to have happened to the female, and their nest has also failed. The lone male was talking to the pair, and then flew off by himself. The three glossies were chased by red wattle birds, and then a sulphur crested cockatoo.
