User's notes

A male Gang-gang Cockatoo was in a hollow (tree 30) previously used by Rainbow Lorikeets last year and possibly by Crimson Rosellas this year. This male was positioned quietly in the entrance, appearing to almost be guarding it. A Crimson Rosella was outside chattering away. The male Gang-gang made no noise but finally reversed into the hollow where I lost sight of him.
