User's notes
Drama at hollow where pair successfully nested in previous seasons. There was obviously another bird or animal in the hollow. Pair was screeching furiously and stabbing with their beaks towards the hollow for over five minutes. There was a male juvenile on a high branch. Another pair arrived in the tree and the male flew to the hollow branch to investigate (photo 4), then both males flew higher in the tree while the female kept screeching into the hollow (photo 5 shows all five birds).
