User's notes
A lot of noise - sulphur crested cockatoo squawking, gang-gang growling - alerted me to gang-gang presence. Finding the source, I saw two pair of gang-gangs and six SCCs milling around a beautiful, hollow-bearing eucalypt. Eventually the SCCs left, and the gg pairs split - one stayed on the tree of dispute, the other pair investigated and chewed a tree close by. I will keep my eye on these potential hollows, and have alerted Stacey.
