User's notes
A pair were preparing a nest. My attention was drawn to the two nesting birds when I saw one of them at a tree hollow. It looked like the male was completely inside the hollow. After the male exited the hollow both birds perched on a branch growing from the tree where the hollow was, before the male returned to the hollow with some leaves, which may be going to be used at the bottom of the hollow. When the birds were outside they were quiet, indulging in a some preening.
