User's notes

The female was sitting in an adjacent tree, the male emerged from Tree 51 and flew off. After a few minutes the female flew to the tree, perched for a few minutes on the edge looking around and then entered the hollow. She was inside for a 7 minutes making slight noises. She came out with some whiteish stuff on her beak. She paused for a minute on the lip of the hollow and then flew off. Total time 18 mins.
