User's notes
I had spotted a lone female feeding in the trees and at our bird bath late most afternoons and after many attempts of trying to follow her to see where they were nesting, I could only narrow it down to an area in some trees less than 100 metres from our house. Today while I was walking I heard Gang Gangs eating in the same area and spotted the female, not far from her I saw a splash of red in a hollow and realised that it was the male. He stuck his head out and had a look and by the time I had gone to the house and came back, he was sitting in the edge of the hollow. I do think that this is their nest. The surrounds look very chewed and this is the area which the female was always going to previously. I will keep an eye on it from now on in the hope that I might eventually see some chicks before they fledge.
