User's notes
I could hear these birds from a distance but I did not realise there were going to be around six birds in this group, an adult pair, two juvenile males and one, possibly two, juvenile female birds. Most of their activity was associated with the tree in the picture, which was a near-dead tree, although with a lot of new growth further down. There were also two large eucalypt trees very near-by to the west where there may have been other Gang-gangs and some of this group later moved to. The adult male and a juvenile male had a screeching contest that turned into raised wings but no physical contact.
