Hi All,
Not really been doing much with my photos these days, still taking a few but not so often, however in the spring when
I was preparing a report for my studies, Kerstin came in the house and said I should look in the carport as we have a
nest in there. so I went and had a look and saw four little beaks popping out, so I rushed back for my camera and
returned, as I did the mother flew off so I decided to see if I could get them all together and waited, she came back
but saw me so flew off. I then got a step ladder and hid in the corner, still the same problem the mother sensed me,
so as I have a bit off a workshop I placed myself in there and just left a slight opening for the lens, this worked
and I spent a patient few hours watching and photographing the activities, the chicks heads popping up when it sensed
the mother or father coming back, I also noticed the mother telling them to stay down and be quiet when she sensed I
was there, I should have been working but it was a wonderful experience, I saw them preparing for flight and sure
enough next day they were all gone.
enough type here are a selection of feeding time images

there was one chick that was always pushed down by the others but the mum made
sure it was also fed
