User's notes

I am assuming that these are older, juvenile siblings - I could see no adult birds. I'd moved on when I heard a commotion and looked back to see one of the gang gangs being hotly pursued by a kookaburra, with the gang gang coming to rest on an electricity wire, and the kookaburra on a post nearby. Then came the next gang gang, also being chased by another kookaburra. There was a bit of a stand off, and the gang gangs returned briefly to the snow gum before flying off.
