A very windy day. Gang Gangs feeding on Persoonia berries. Berries had already been stripped by Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, but Gang gangs working hard to find last remaining. 2 adults and 2 juveniles

Thanks Barbara
This is probably another indicator that Gang-gangs are nesting close by. At this time of year we find that pairs that successfully bred last season return with the youngsters to the same vicinity that they bred in. The youngsters will soon be encouraged to go on their own and are likely to join a "teenage" gang, until they pair up. Fingers crossed that this is the year that a nest is located at Mittagong
