Diamond and Xavier on the tower have an amazing view of the landscape. After a fruitless search of the park below the water tower, I wondered if they had decamped to the group of trees the trio last year used, and I was right! So quite a few hundred metres away, but still under paternal gaze.
And a bit closer
And I thought you might want to see what THEY see. You can just see the top of the tower over the trees.
This is actually a better spot for the youngsters to learn to fly and hunt as there is less chance of accidents due to the open nature of the paddock. There are a few other trees around (live), but it’s grazing country mainly….and this is where their main prey lives.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you for the updates and wonderful pictures! I’m so glad to know that Vim, Rubi and Mell are in a tree. Thanks to the good news and beautiful scenery, I’ll have good dreams tonight.
They are wonderful! They are sitting on the dead tree like during their common photo session. Best place for making these beautiful pictures. Thanks, Cilla!
OOOHHHHHH!
I LOVE SEEING THEM TOGETHER like that!

What terrific news. Thanks for the photos Cilla – it’s great to get a perspective of the landscape through a wider lens! So – the family is in the paddocks across the road where we sometimes spot sheep? So glad they’re all together now.

It’s funny that the parents seem to not remember where the juveniles are…or is just Xavier?
Diamond’s feathers somehow seem richer, more beautiful now that she is outside most of the time.
