Mike Tan stumbled upon a pair of Collared Kingfisher (Todiramphus chloris) excavating a cavity in a dead tree stump in February 2009. Obviously he is anticipating the pair to start a family soon.

We are anticipating further observations in the near future.

    "You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,
    but when you're finished,
    you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
    So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing - that's what counts.
    I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

    Nobel Laureate Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988)
