User's notes
Thanks to Marcus Leach for spotting this bird nesting. The sequence of images shows the bird entering the nesting hollow and clearing out the wood chips inside using its beak. It was observed doing this over a 10 minute period and each time it exited the hole it looked around very nervously including upwards, before leaving.
