User's notes
I saw two more Gang-gangs in a tree further north of the previous tree, and down the hill a little. I was alerted to them as I heard them calling. Initially, I could only see the male then I noticed the female. They were both chewing on bark and branches. There was a hollow nearby but I could not tell if it was being used by them. There did appear to be beak marks around it like it had been chewed. Before getting to this tree, I had seen gang-gangs chase away a group of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos from it but I was not sure if these were the birds who had done the chasing.
