Hi all
after spending plenty of time last weekend in the Blue Mt searching for
Gang-gangs with my Dad (and we finally got one at Mt Wilson at lunch on our
last day as we were heading back to Sydney), it was almost certain that I
would now see some more with no effort...and so it has proved.
This afternoon (Sunday 25 Nov) at about 5;15pm, I was waiting outside the
school hall at Turramurra High School on Maxwell St, South Turramurra for my
daughter to finish a rehearsal for an upcoming concert. I was without
binoculars, but I saw 2 largish, dark birds fly into a gum tree on the other
side of the oval, with a possible flash of red? So I strolled over to check
them out and there, about 10 metres up were a male & female, quietly
creaking and feeding on gum nuts - the binoculars were not necessary as the
male then clambered down until he was about 5 metres up.
I heard 2 others heard calling from slightly further away. The SW boundary
of the school grounds backs onto the Upper Lane Cove Valley, so I presume
they came from there.
I haven't broken the news of the ease of this sighting to my Dad yet....
Cheers
Tom Wilson
