Description

Numerous birds seen around Blackberry Flat. This active burrow was discovered by accident - we were drawn to an odd 'hissing' and 'bubbling' sound which we soon found came from this entrance hole - presumably the chick. Subsequently we watched the entrance carefully and saw one adult visiting it frequently (but could not see what food they were bringing the occupant).
