Thanks looks like a young bird - unfortunately the amount of Red varies so much from bird to bird that we can't tell if it is this years or last years chick

Hi to both Michaels. We saw at least 6 in amongst the gums at Mt Irvine. There were females among them but I didn't have my schmicko camera on me. We plan to go back with our cameras to see if we can find them again over the holiday period and will post our findings.

Thanks If you have a particular love for Gang-gangs you may like to join the Gang-gang Gang which are a group of citizen scientists who have found out most of what is known about Gang-gang nesting ecology and diet. If you email me Mulvaney@netspeed.com.au I can send you the latest of our irregular newsletters which outline our current research findings and information that we are seeking.
