Hey??
No, the black falcon was feeding its own 2 fledglings some form of prey.
Assuming it was a black falcon, and they were its own fledglings. I guess
another possibility could be the falcon was a female begging, but since two
were begging, and the calls sounded more baby like, I assume they were babies.
Yes my grammar is bad, blame it on the system.
The dollarbird swooped the black falcon, and I assume the dollarbird also has a
nest but didn't see it. The swooping bird made a frighteningly loud noise and I
pity any human or falcon who gets swooped.
Yep about 500m N of the Carpark.

Benj, I assume you mean the Dollarbird was feeding fledglings, not the Black
Falcon! You got me very excited for a moment!!
