Attacked by the male Little Corella but the male Kestrel took off with the mouse which was probably being delivered to his mate.

Probably at a highly contested nest habitat tree; even Crimson Rosellas can become eagles...
I think the scarcity of tree hollows are the limiting factor of hollow dependant species. Unfortunately, on the western foot slopes, I quite often observe hollows occupied by honey bees ...
