User's notes

As per previous recent sightings by KL and me, this Gang-gang pair are regularly in this hollow, used by Lorikeets last spring. This time the female was right inside the hollow with the male above it (photo 3) and sharp sounds coming from hollow, as if she was excavating it. Then they swapped places and the male had a look inside and chewed the entrance (photos 1 and 2).
