Just observed male satin bowerbird dancing around
decorated bower with blue lid in mouth and `singing’ while female,
appearing mesmerized, was in and out of bower, tempted + crouching in there; eventually got bored and flew off with
what seemed to be yellow object in bill
this bower may be found by going 1 level lower than
the path containing Tom Green’s seat and parallel to his path; proceed
along path till you come to identical wooden seat, walk on, ntherly, cross
streamlet over stepping stones then stop; for a little further along under
shrub on right is the bower, heavily decorated;
have never witnessed this intimate interaction before;
went on for long time; c. 4.30 pm
