Hi Geoff,
While the Gang Gangs love the orange hawthorn berries, they also maul any
cotoneaster shrubs with red berries. I have quite a few close-ups of them doing
this and I agree it makes for great photography.
>From my experiences with Gang Gangs, they not only come down from the hills
>during autumn/winter but I have records of them from each month at ruffey lake
>park in doncaster also.
Yours in all things "green"

Good Afternoon everyone
Last week in and around
Melbourne we had glorious Autumn weather which is a regular occurrence in
the month of May in this part of Australia. At this time the Hawthorne
Bushes produce red berries and Gang Gang Cockatoo's sweep down from the
mountains to feed on them, it is the only time of the year when this occurs
and gives the photographer great opportunities to get up close and personal.
I have just put up a few shots that I took last Saturday and here is the
link as per usual.

to let you now we are now copping a Wintry blast, I just love Melbourne!
Kindest Regards
