User's notes

I saw a pair that were at a hollow very low down on a tree. The hollow would have been at my chest height, if not lower. I did not see either Galah enter the hollow but one bird was regularly reaching in while the other was preening on a branch beside it. I had seen a Galah near this hollow previously but I was too slow to get a picture.
