User's notes
About five or six Gang Gangs arrived in this area as I was walking past and these two went to the tree where I have watched them previously. The male perched near the hollow and the female initially in a tree nearby. The female then flew to the hollow and entered right at the top. She emerged from a lower hole then went back in and came out another, so there seem to be multiple entrances. Although I didn't see or hear any direct evidence of chicks, the behaviour of these birds was very suggestive.

Checked out the site this morning but no activity. Very close to two other postings earlier on in the season. I have been keeping my out in this area but to date no luck. Chris
