User's notes

This hollow was site 136 in the Gang-gang nesting survey in the last two seasons. Gang-gang pair and lorikeet pair have both been seen there often recently, see previous sightings. This time the lorikeet went right inside and stayed there. Sorry about photo quality, it moved very quickly.
