User's notes

This hollow (nested in by lorikeets in spring) continues to be hotly contested. The Gang-gang pair who have been visiting it recently were sitting patiently for at least ten minutes, female on top of hollow, male on branch below, as if guarding. When I returned about half an hour later, the lorikeet pair suddenly flew out of the hollow, no sign of Gang-gangs. Will upload a sighting of the lorikeets sitting in this hollow the following day.
