Many years ago, somewhere in that vicinity, Elsa and I saw about
100 Gang-gangs fly down from the top of the ridge, over a fairly open paddock,
into a line of tall pines along the side of the road. We were quite taken by
the noise, and the massed drunken flight. Was in autumn.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Gangs-gangs hit a low point
Altitudinally speaking that is. In the last few days I
have been told of a flock of 50+ Gang-gangs at a property on Woolcara Lane and
another of 30 of these birds munching hawthorn berries at another property on
Plains Rd. As the two locations, marked X in the attachment, are only
about 6km apart in a straight line (albeit somewhat further as the Gang-gang
flies) I suspect they are the same birds.
