User's notes

The battle for this hollow (site 25 in Gang-gang survey) between the Lorikeets and Gang-gangs continues. This photo shows Lorikeets in hollow and male Gang-gang watching from nearby branch. Female was on another branch. When I came past 15 minutes later, the Lorikeets were still there but the Gang-gangs had gone.
