Hi Bruce and Birding-ausers,
I have got the weblog ready where you could have a
look at the photos. Thanks for your suggestion that it
could be drinking but I was sure it was not doing any
drinking action.

I am still new and experimenting using the blog. Any
comments welcome.
I will provide exact location of the 'nest hollow'
thru private email. Wonder if Swift Parrots would hang
around on same spot for several days.
Regards,
Tun-Pin ONG
St Leonards, NSW
