We are pretty sure this is "BaldY" from last year - he has not quite re-grown his feathers. It is great to get information on his movements. He is the only Gang - gang for which such data exists- Nice to know he is still in or returned to Aranda Bushland
User's notes
This lovely pair of Gang Gangs were found feeding on trees at the start of the Bindubi trail in the Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve ( left of track, a few meters after passing throuigh the Bindubi Street gate.)
