User's notes

Three individuals, all slightly different. The one in image 5 is from the same site as sightings 4205927 and 4235018. The other two were maybe 20 metres away. While I watched, the one in image 1 jumped towards the one in images 2 and 3 from about a metre away until it landed right behind it. I managed one quick photo (image 4), but when I looked down they had both gone. I spotted one in a nearby grass tussock, but couldn't see the other one.
