User's notes

I heard a disturbance in the forest next door and went to investigate, suddenly a female lyrebird went sprinting past me squawking, and then disappeared across the road, I could still hear another lyrebird making alarm calls at the top of a tree, it then calmed down and started singing and eventually glided off in the direction of where the female had gone..
