Two adults and two chicks, possibly at nesting site. Observed from the trail at a distance.
Adults did not have leg bands, indicating that they were born wild in the reserve.

Fantastic breeding record, thanks David! Agree, the adults would have been born in the reserve so the chicks are 3+ generation Mulligans-born.
