User's notes
Same tree as sightings by Flutteringsparrow2, eg 4246840. Initially could only see male then female suddenly emerged from behind trunk, possibly from hollow (photo 4). Photo 5 shows pair in tree, male on left near trunk and female directly above red sun. Both chewed bark for some time, then froze and stared nervously for a couple of minutes when two cockatoos landed above them. Before that, they were calling to four other Gang-gangs nearby, two males in distant trees (separate sightings) and a pair which flew in briefly to nearby bluegums.
