I was drawn to the site by the loud sound of the (then invisible) male doing internal alterations. Female watching on.

Thanks Kieran - do you happen to know if this is Red Box (Yellow Box) Nest tree or another tree near by - Red Box had both a large and small entrance and I wonder if this is the small entrance?

There were two entrances on the limb, I remember it as a red gum rather than a box. I can email a snap of the tree.
