Private property. No public access without permission. Approximate location as the birds were quite far away from where the photos were taken. Male (light morph) and female (dark morph).

This observation and these photos were an indication, after several weeks with no sign, that the pair (a dark morph female and smaller light morph male) had survived the attacks by a pair of WTE which destroyed their two eggs. So, on whose property will they nest next August, as they are unlikely to reuse the nest where the attack occurred?
