User's notes
Potential nest tree. I think this is Michael Mulvaney's tree B5. Male seen flying to tree, sitting in branch calling softly, at 4.40pm (sorry, camera not on daylight saving time). Female seen flying off five minutes later but did not see her leave a hollow. Tree has several hollows, most likely one is third hollow up from base, with chewing marks (photo 2). At 6.06pm, male seen sitting in same tree, then moved to a nearby tree (photo 3), perhaps because I was trying to photograph him. Saw female flying off from first tree one minute later, but did not get photo. Worth watching.
