User's notes
Pixie with male, juvenile, & another family of 3 (Telopea, sightings 4641643,4641649). While watching Telopea & family, property owner (JE) spotted another glossy beyond some trees. It was likely getting a drink at a nearby creek. Within minutes this second family came to the same favoured feed tree. Several years ago, strong winds damaged about a third of the tree, leaving 2 sections that continued to produce cones. Telopea & family were in one half of the tree and Pixie & family stayed in the other half! Pixie's juvenile is uploaded separately. Photos by LSH.
