User's notes

While looking for gang gangs which have been seen at this hollow, I saw instead four galahs - three resting on nearby branches, and one in the hollow. The one in the hollow flew off to the others briefly, then straight back to the hollow, where I heard the faint peeping of nestlings being fed! I am wondering whether this is a 'hot nest' hollow - will the gang gangs nest after the galahs fledge?
