User's notes

I spent some time watching one or two birds hovering over the top of the grass and then going back the other way. I thought these birds were honeyeaters? They seemed to be getting something because every now and then they flew up, across the ravine and into a tree, and then returned a few moments later and repeated the 'hunt' in the grass. Never seen this behaviour before.
