To date we only have two confirmed existing breeding locations of Gang Gangs in the Canberra area. Observations like these will help us identify and better conserve further sites

User's notes

The male entered the hollow and was inside for a full 45 minutes, while she waited outside. She then entered the hollow and he came out. A few minutes later she also came out to join him. Then they flew off together.

Hi Michael, I've noticed that the location for this nest has not been hidden as I would have expected.
