User's notes

A striking female, with equi-positioned bright red markings on either side of her head - the most marked I've seen. At first I thought she'd been gripped by a raptor, which had left bloody streaks on either side of her head. However, the photos seems to suggest the colouring is feathers - and she showed no ill effects of an attack - no shaking of the head, flying strongly. On this basis, I will add her to the identified gang gang collection (although happy to take her out if not appropriate). I thought the name 'Bluey' might suit her?
