User's notes
This family is an offshoot of the tribe that moved in last year. They have 'ousted' the previous breeding pair, the female of which was distinctive as she imitated a car alarm. This territory has changed ownership a couple of times of recent years. Originally a group of five, there now appears to be only three individuals. My observations over the years seem to show that a group of around six 'intruders' will challenge and successfully take over a territory, but by the breeding season this usually reduces to two or three. This family don't seem to be breeding this season.
