... as in the plural of Australian Hobby, two of which have been frequenting Kingston over the last week. A single adult accompanied by an immature have been seen each morning last week (including today) either on or between the two high rises on Jardine Street. It would appear that the adult, possibly male since it appears smaller than the young one (?), is “teaching” the newbie as there is much chasing around the towers with the younger one “keening” incessantly even though the adult does not appear to be carrying prey that might be shared. Suspect they have been roosting on 4 Jardine St., where I live on an upper floor, because they often swoop by our bedroom window early morning with the young one providing an effective alarm clock! The adult often roosts on the TV aerial on the high rise across the road, while the young one prefers the protruding rim of around the penthouse, giving great views.
Cheers
