User's notes

Lots of activity this evening. One tree with four glossies (two pair, including a pair that have visited for years, recognisable by the lack of yellow head colouring in the female; and including a younger female that I think I recognised.) There was a fraca, lots of glossy growling and flashing of red - which I've not witnessed previously. Around 6.30pm I heard a noisy juvenile and parents fly in from another area, and a fourth joined them. The family group flew around from feed tree to perch tree, then off. At the end of the day, only the one glossy remained, crying as it flew to it's lone roost.
