Pair of Gang-gangs eating the fruit of a Hairy Geebung (Persoonia rigida). The male was easier to get a picture of than the female, as he was in the top of the bush. The female is (barely) visible in the final picture, hidden behind twigs and leaves.

Thanks Darcy - much appreciated - Persoonia seems to be a major diet item of gang-gangs in the Greater Sydney area. Great to also have a record from the Albury area. Pairs are just about to start nesting so any observations in or around hollows is of great interest.
