User's notes

It was a single Crimson Rosella, although there were a number of this species flying around. The bird appeared to be interested in the hollow where I had seen the two Eastern Rosellas but it only looked from the top. It may have intended to go further into the hollow but a female Gang-gang Cockatoo chased it off.
