Thanks Stuart - much appreciated - shouldn't have pairs feeding together unless they are well into nesting or have not or are not going to nest - a bit of a dilemma

Good info Micael, thanks. When I say 'together' I estimate the pairs were 10-15m apart in same stand of Callitris.....

What I meant was that there should be only either the males or female from a pair feeding, not both together, as one from the pair should be on the nest. Males would be feeding early in the day or later in the evening as they have the day shift on the nest.
