[UNCLASSIFIED] Gang Gangs?

["John Leonard" <>]

There seem to be normal numbers around Hughes, Garran and Deakin, or at least numbers not significantly down.

 

Sometimes, I think, that the GGs bypass Canberra if there's a lot of food elsewhere. Some years I seem to remember large numbers early on in the winter, then very few towards sping, other years vice versa.

Where are all the Gang Gangs.

David and Geoffrey have both mentioned this.

Barton- The previous 7 years I have always had between 3 and 6 gang gangs every day at Barton this time of year, but have seen none.

ANU- while looking for the Blue faced honeyeater at ANU over 3 days, I saw only 2 Gang gangs in the whole time. Usually there are dozens.

Botanic Gardens- On thursday over 3 hours observation only saw 2 for about 15 minutes. Usually there are at least 1 dozen.

Westbourne woodlands- I would have expected to have seen some there, but nada.

Aranda bushland- Usually 3-6 but havent heard any.

Macquarie/Aranda suburbs- Usually they are always heard this time of year, but havent heard any.

Where are they? It is a bit of a worry
