    How do I know if the hollow entrance is small, medium or large?

    For this project we have arbitrarily allocated the hollow entrance as small (<5cm), medium (6-10cm), large (11-20cm) and extra-large (>20cm). To estimate the size of the hollow entrance you can compare the opening to the size of the nearby leaves of the tree, measuring the leaves you can reach, or to the size of nearby wildlife.
