Interesting... Not the hollow I had been seeing them showing interest in and entering on 2 separate occasions, although this was also just beside the playground. I have not seen anything suggesting that they had young, or that these visits to this one hollow was anything more than a hollow inspection. I would doubt it has young there as most times I've seen it, It has not been at a hollow, so there wouldn't have been any incubation. Also wouldn't expect them to be entering multiple hollows if they did have young. However, I haven't been down for several days, and their actions suggest a highly likely possibility of breeding occurring in the near future- I will head down every few days and let you know if I see some interesting developments.
