User's notes
When I arrived there was no sign of GGs, but cockatoos were converging on Hollow 3. There were eventually 9 and they investigated the hollow and sat around it. Some then flew to Hollow 2. Baldy and partner arrived at about this time and were repelled by the SCCs. They sat in a nearby tree and watched. When the SCCs lost interest and left, first Mrs, then Baldy, went to Hollow 2. They looked in and sat next to it, but didn't go in. The next day they were back there again, with no sign of SCCs. Mrs growled a bit at the hollow, but not enthusiastically. When Baldy stretched his wings at one point, some white feathers were revealed.
