User's notes

Identifiable south coast female: 'Sylvia'. Sylvia has a small, marked yellow feathering directly above the midline of her beak; a 'plait' of yellow interspersed with brown from her right ear (?) extending diagonally down and around her head. This pair stayed chewing at the one, smallish, allocasuarina from before 9am to 6.50pm. Late in the afternoon I also saw a family of three flying across the street, with a young juvenile loudly begging and calling as they flew. At around 6.30pm I found another pair that flew in and chewed cones from an allocasuarina around 500 metres south of this pair.
