Re: FW: [canberrabirds] young kestrels and wfh

Last week at Maree in Sth Australia, interested to see c. 4 fledged young kestrels who had been raised in a nest in a crevice in the Maree Hotel wall, all screaming for food from their parents. Apparently it was the 6th year running there had been a nest in the Hotel. Main prey reported as lizards/skinks.

Five young kestrels who were raised in the nest near to the gully at Callum Brae, have flown.  They were beautiful.  Do the parents continue to feed them? or do they now have to fend for themselves?  Anyone know?

 

Also kookaburra's nest at CB

 

The nest of the white faced heron at Campbell Park has been empty for some time.  Last report was from Lindel, of 2 small chicks perched on edge of nest.  Hopefully the parents may breed again in the same nest, after doing it up a bit
