User's notes

A count of 12 including the nesting couple. Around 10 birds flew over from towards the ANU and landed near the nesting site that the pair had been preparing for the last week. The male chased them away only for some to return again. He spent a bit of time defending his claimed hollow, not only from fellow Gang Gangs, but from interested Galahs (separate sighting).
