Hybridisation of the two species, in situations were they are not both common, is well document Ted.

I finally got to go and see if i could get a pic of the Scaly and it did not take long to find it.

But here is the twist, while watching them they were at a nest hollow and twice i saw both the Scaly and Rainbow appear to be feeding young in the hollow.

I did not see or hear young but i got the impression that this is what they were doing.

Maybe someone with more experience than me could go down and see what they think?

If you stand at the play ground and look at the teepee that some kids have made from branches and about the same distance along slightly to the right is a gumtree ( not sure what type it is ), the hollow is in this tree
