Thanks Jenny - given the multiple birds involved I think this may be a water tree - one where the hollow pools water and is used as a drinking source by the Gang-gangs - but will check it out with pole camera in early November

Thanks Michael. I’ll pass that info on to the 2 very keen photographers who send me their pics to upload. Although on a different street they are fortunate enough to be able to watch comings and goings with binoculars and are really enjoying their mission.
