2 adults feeding male and female juveniles at Blue Waterhole. They flew in from elsewhere, the parents had a drink at the creek while the juveniles waited in the trees, then the parents fed them both. 10 minutes later they flew away.

Thanks Helen - they look young but not newly fledged as in the last few days - but did you get a chance to observe any pink knees on the juveniles?

I didn't Michael, the youngsters stayed mostly up in the foliage until the last seconds. Here's a video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/s8ga8Z6efM2ALa5B8
