Calling all southern/western Victorian birders! or recent visitors to that area……. Anyone had any recent sightings of Gang-gangs in the Melbourne/Great Ocean Rd/ Halls Gap/ Macedone circuit? I’ll be travelling that route in the next week and would appreciate any info. (I’ve searched as many recent lists on E-bird as I can, but am getting nowhere….)

Hi Colin, You’ve mentioned a few good spots to see Gang-gang, particularly the Otways and Halls Gap, particularly in the summer months. There are a couple of parks in downtown Halls Gap where they regularly fly through, such as the main park opposite the shops, or near the back of the oval at the intersection of Grampians Rd and Northern Grampians Rd. There has been some massive fires in the Grampians over the last few years, with large areas of forest burnt out. The only good news (in terms of seeing Gang-gangs) is that the birds are now localised around a number of spots, such as Halls Gap. Aside from that, I usually see them around the Wartook Tea House on the west side of the Grampians. In the Otways, they’re regular at the Sheoke Picnic Ground (couple of km behind Lorne), the Distillery Creek Picnic Ground (Aireys Inlet) and the Ironbark Basin Walk at Point Addis, and also the road to lookout itself at Point Addis. Typically – like Yellow-tailed Cockatoo – their distinct gang-gang call is always a massive give-away. Basically, if you drive through any of the drier forest areas in the Otways (such as the road to Pt Addis, or the roads behind Anglesea i.e. Mt Ingoldsby Rd or Bald Hill Rd, road to the Sheoke Picnic Ground – Allenvale Rd) you will usually hear them a few times along any drive. Good luck. Cheers, Tim ________________________________________ Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 10:48 AM Calling all southern/western Victorian birders! or recent visitors to that area…….

Hi Colin, I saw some Doncaster last month, so will try to check again in the next couple of days and let you know. I agree it isn’t as easy to find recent sightings on e-Bird as it used to be on Eremaea, so maybe something the regional group could suggest to them?
