Thanks for this sighting! I'm working my way back through all the records on nature map. Given the location I suspect this would be Myf and Hal, who have been a breeding pair in this territory since 2015.

Wow, thanks for letting me know, great to know their names 😊 I've seen these birds three times over the years, in the same area. The first time was about a year before this photo was taken, and there were definitely three of them then. Then the two in the above picture in Feb 2021. And more recently last spring (2022) I saw them fly off - I had the feeling that there were more than two (3 or even 4), but can't be sure.
