Thanks, All.

I went out today and here are a few shots. Chicks are doing well with Dad being very busy. Interesting that the Female is about a KM away and not helping at all, it's all up to Dad.

Lovely shots, Shorty! Those baby Kestrel chicks are absolutely gorgeous...and what a good papa the father Kestrel is.

Really like that last shot showing the chicks clamouring for the meal. I imagine the local skink population has seen a bit of a decline judging by what we're seeing here!

Great photos WD, very jealous that you have the opportunity to see this magnificent event. I particularly like the one of the 3 chicks looking at you.
