User's notes

Three days observing the breeding pair (Dotty and mate). The first photo is the male displaying at the same time calling (mating call), which went for 5-10 mins (and a bit recorded). The next day, I observed the pair mating for the second time as they visited the nest hollow in the evening. The female kept herself horizontal for a minute or so, before moving down to the hollow, going into the hollow for three minutes, then flying off for the night. The third lone male was again observed both chewing with the Dotty pair, and flying off calling, in the same direction as previously observed.
