Julie checked out the area this morning and located an active Gang-gang nest - thanks for the heads up - so far we have identified 18 in teh Canberra area this year.

Hi michael, this must be the pair I spotted a couple of times in the same area in the past months see Callocephalon fimbriatum (Gang-gang Cockatoo) There was quite a bit of chewed bark near the site but I didn't see them enter a hollow. I'll keep an eye on them.

That's great news, thanks! How does the 18 nests found this year compare to previous years?

It is about average but we are still early in the season - I think we are getting better at finding them rather than an increase in the number of nests
