A Special Nestbox

I decided today to take a coffee and go and sit beside the water. This is something we used to do often, but lately it is only a quick trip, just to view the water, or to see how the baby Curlews are doing. 

Well today when sitting at Victoria Pt. I spotted a pair of Lorikeets checking out a nesting hole up very high in a large Eucalypt tree. 

I thought the hole looked a little large for them and I was proved correct when suddenly a large screeching noise came from over the back of the tree. Then out of the blue, two large Cockatoos came flying through the tree and landed on a branch beside the hole.

 I think perhaps the nest has been used by this pair in the past as the cocky turned and backed into the hole and disappeared all the way down except for his/her crest.
