User's notes
Pair of Gang-gangs spotted again. They started off eating Persoonia linearis fruit then moved on to some sawfly larvae on a nearby Eucalypt. The male ate the larvae straight from the squirming clump but the female ate them off a leaf she was holding with one leg. They then both went back to eating Persoonia linearis fruit.
