User's notes

I didn't get close enough for a good photograph. unfortunately, Common Mynas, which haven't been around when Friends of Mt Majura began repair work in the reserve east of The Fair in 2012, have moved to this part of the reserve and are now spreading. Local residents hand-feed them along with Noisy Miners. It took only a decade to lose the little woodland birds thanks to roaming cats, dogs on and off lead, Mynas and Miners. The residential estate The Fair, developed in 2011 is a catastrophe for the little woodland birds.

Woodland birds and humans don't mix.
