User's notes
A Gang-gang pair and a possible fledgling(?) were squabbling directly outside this active nest of a different Gang-gang pair. Adult male seemed to be shooing off the younger Gang-gang? The young male looks very young, maybe a fledgling from this breeding season, or is it too soon??? Maybe a juvenile from last year?

Thanks Roy - I don.t think that it is too soon for a young fledgling this year, but this bird does look pretty advanced.
