User's notes

Property owners had been seeing glossies in a favoured feed tree & invited LSH & HE to take photos. Images 1-4 are from LSH & image 5 is from HE. On this day, Linda was with a male and 2 other pairs, Rhonda Mae & Holly (uploaded separately). Holly & mate flew when the tree was approached but Linda, Rhonda Mae & mates stayed in the tree feeding from midmorning until after the photographers left about midday. In image 5, the male glossy has a spot of yellow on his forehead. The spot was helpful in separating photos of the pairs. The property owners were present during the photo session.
