User's notes

There is a pair of SCCs at the tree every time I pass. Looks like the protection for gang gangs has worked - for a canny pair of SCCs. However, they've found a side entrance to the hollow, that is larger and more suited for their body size.

Thanks - I think there is a strong take up of the hollows of the trees that we have guarded

Cheers Michael
