User's notes
4 birds in total, one male and others unknown (photo 1). The two birds perched close together (photo 2) were repeatedly looking into the hollow. When I returned half an hour later, could only locate the male eating in an adjacent tree (photo 3).

Thanks if you could also take me to this tree - though it looks like it may be a water tree - Gang-gangs often drink from flooded tree hollows.
