Crested Barbets - Breeding (Finally)?

When i last blogged about the crested barbets back in September they where busy hollowing out the nesting log I put up. Since then I have not seen much of them. So it was great to see a little head sticking out today:


Observing for a short while, I saw the male arrive with some food and pop into the nest:


I'm not sure if he's feeding the brooding female or if there are chicks in the nest - will hopefully get some time to sit and watch in the next week or two
