User's notes

The last two photos were taken on 15/8 - galah looked in, but didn't enter. I also tickled the tree around that time, no occupant. So I'm thinking that they began incubating within the last five days? I've seen the gang gangs come in to check the hollow, when the galahs were guarding the hollow about two weeks ago. So hopefully, fingers crossed, we will finally see two species fledge from this hollow this season - if the gliders keep away . . .
