We have just seen a group of seven Gang Gangs in our Sugar Gum, above Darebin Creek, at 8.45 am. They seemed to be moving upstream, i.e. northwards. They used to be a regular autumn-winter sighting, but it has been some years since we saw any, and never so many at once.

It’s always nice to see Gangs Gangs Anthea.
They are regular visitors to my neck of the woods – Box Hill – and I have stopped reporting sightings because I had assumed that they are now commonplace.
I usually see one to three Gangs Gangs but we had a flock of ten in our local small park – Bolton Park – on the morning of 28 March. They were quite demonstrative, flying in sweeping arcs from one tree to another and stimulating responses from the resident Magpies and Noisy Miners.
Cheers
David

Thanks Anthea, For this and your other interesting contributions. That certainly must have been a lovely sight. They are such impressive, but low key birds. Wendy
