User's notes
I heard a call, and saw the female looking out of the hollow. I thought she was just taking a break from incubating, until I saw one cheeky red head and eye appear from below, they had a bit of a groom of each other, then she disappeared down into the hollow. The male checked out the surrounds (including me) for a few seconds, and flew off.
