Thanks for this sighting Denise . We are currently researching hollow use by Gang gangs in the Canberra area. Would you be able to revisit this site in December and January? The observation requirements are at

Hi, yes can definitely revisit and December and January. We walk past this site daily. Just wondering if you want photos every time we see activity in the hollow? Or just in December and January? We didn't see him in the hollow last night but he was sited up on a branch in the same tree but he flew away to another site. Although we saw a female nearby on the 1st night, he seemed to be by himself last night. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks Denise - what we want to know is
1). Have gang gangs shown an interest in the hollow (You have already answered this)
2) is this interest sustained over the breeding season - so we just need enough records (2 a month) to show this interest
3) Were young successfully raised in hollow. This will require closure watching in lat Jan-February but I will be in contact before then re instructions if the interest and use of hollow by Gang gangs has been sustained.
