User's notes

Successful Kookaburra breeding event at Nesting box 'T10' adjacent to Mugga Way. Note the excavated nesting hole, but still a surprisingly small nesting cavity (for me at least) that the adult used. Amount of chatter from inside nesting box probably indicated more than one chick? One adult regularly entering the nest with prey items.
