At 7.20 male emerged from hollow and moved above hollow - other male flew off. At 7.25 male entered hollow again. At 7.30 male emerged from hollow again, and with female perched close to hollow, At 8.40 both birds moved high up into the tree and called. Their call was answered by pair to the west. Either the birds took off or they hid themselves in the high branches as I lost site of them. I went and found another pair or same pair 100m to the west.
