Nesting pairs at the Inlet

Went to northern part of the Leschenault Inlet.

As always I was drawn to a  Duck tree but  the main interest for me was Osprey nesting tree.

There also a pair of Nankeen Kestrels who nest in a hollow in the same tree.

Funny enough the respective partners perch near each others nest.

Didnt get too close as I didnt want to disturb them too much but found it rather amusing

Great shots and good of you to respect their wellbeing by not getting too close. The NK almost seems like a finch in comparison.

Great photos .... Im surprised that two different raptor species will nest in the same tree like that.
