User's notes
My attention was grabbed by the persistent noise of these two fledglings. Fascinating to observe them being fed - the sibling rivalry (feed me!), and not enjoying their vent being cleaned (4th photo). In the background, not far away, was the chirruping of a brown goshawk - safety in numbers for these young birds, hopefully.
