'...a few of the interesting tree creeper shots of the “ family of six juveniles “ . Quality is not as I would like to see as it was dark / windy / and shooting into what light there was.
...they show how they get together as a group – even seem to feed in turns as the group seemed to rotate then some split away and came back again. I’ve never seen it before and probably won’t again !' NS
