User's notes
These photos illustrate the serious industry of gang-gangs as they excavate their hollows. At this new hollow (Stevie Hollow), I have mostly seen the female inside, removing wood at speed, and with vigour. I have an amazing video of her hollowing out the nest, and then kicking out the debris with gusto!
