User's notes

Possible nest change-over at 7.26pm. The female's beak was stained purple with some fruit juice. There is a well-known row of plum trees nearby that other birds frequent, but this is the first time I've seen evidence of Gang-gangs feeding there.

I havn't seen any activity at this site for a good 2 weeks or more. I guess it gives us a number of options:

1. It's not a nest.
2. It's a failed nest.
3. They're nesting somewhere else, probably close by.
4. Roy's having a rotten run at bumping into them (not likely, but possible).
