April 3
9:30: Bird flew from near hole in tree on
CNIEBO/LARB side of territory. Could not see
if bird was in hole, but there is a nice looking hole
in this tree now.
14 April
11:45 - Saw 2 birds in above ↑ tree. Nobody seen in
a hole
16 April
11:50 - Birds in tree again but I did not see anybody in a hole.
6 MAY
11:30 - Bird in hole in tree made into granary by us
after the granary was cut down.
7 MAY
16:30 - Opened new hole (Not really a new hole, but
there was a previous hole into this cavity that had
completely grown over). Found 3 fresh eggs, so
they are probably still laying.
14 MAY
16:40 - Still just 3 eggs. Bird in hole when I arrived
① 24.7 x 19.2 All Eggs look infertile.
22 MAY
12:30 - No eggs remaining - No evidence of why not failed
but, of course, eggs looked infertile anyway.
22 June
16:20 - 3 eggs again in the same hole. One piped
(or dented?) so they may be about to hatch.
23 June
9:15 - 3 babies. Hatched recently, (i.e. with last 1/6hr)
Acorns remaining in granary pieces we put up in
this tree.
