User's notes

8 birds initially, including young begging and being fed (begging photo 1), then 2 more flew in. Residents watching them, said they saw four there same time yesterday. Sorry just phone photos, my camera battery died and the light was really smokey and orange.

Thanks Jacky - It does seem that Federal Golf Course is acting as a "creche" post fledgling, If you see any leg tags can you not the colour and leg that it is on which may help determine which breeding area they are moving from.
