User's notes

Checking out possible nest hollows - one pair, followed by a family of three who just rested in the area. There were also a couple of pair of gang gangs, and when the YTBC flew to the hollows where the ggs were resting, there was a bit of a ruckus. I understand this could be the start of their breeding season (six months earlier than ggs), so hopefully no competition for breeding hollows - although the ggs like to stake potential territory all year round!
