I have previously taken photos of it. There are also Corellas nesting in the
tree and maybe Eastern Rosellas.

At Watson dog park last evening, a pardalot (silhouetted, couldn't see
colouring) flew very fast from the canopy into a small hole in the trunk of
the second big old eucalypt down the main walk track from the Antill St car
park. Hole is about half way up on a large side branch and clearly visible
from the pylon side.

No sign of pardalots there this morning but a pair of galahs housekeeping in
an adjacent big eucalypt. The female was holding a leafy twig in her beak
and spent several minutes 'sweeping' all around the interior of the hollow
before settling on the nest. The male was perched nearby - avoiding the
housework.
