User's notes

This Galah pair was in a tall, isolated eucalyptus tree in a park between the houses at Hughes. The female appeared to be on the branch preening while, I am assuming, the male was inside the hollow doing something, as only the tail was visible. The hollow did not appear very deep, although in other photos only the very end of the tail is visible so there may have been more depth than is apparent in this photo.
