User's notes
I've seen some weird things in the wild, but this one takes the biscuit. This male fairywren was in the shrubbery with others. Then he swooped down to the ground in a buttercup patch. He came out with this bright yellow buttercup petal and took off with it. To impress the ladies or line the nest? Never seen this behaviour before. A bit bowerbird like!
