User's notes
Two Sacred Kingfishers were taking it in turns to fly to the trunk of a tree. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side of the tree so I could not see what they were flying to. I worked my way around to a better vantage point and noticed two holes in the trunk that probably opened into at least a single hollow or possibly two. The kingfishers did not fly to the holes while I was on that side of the tree.
