User's notes

One male. Was making a bit of noise when I arrived earlier but was quiet when I was taking the pictures. Kept looking into hollow (I think). Not the best choice of tree, being in the middle of a carpark.

Thanks Hugh - will follow this up in about 3 weeks - Gang-Gangs are capable of some surprising nest hollow choices - but this one would be a big surprise if used.
