nice!!!! if you can, please document the behavior day by day so you can see how long chicks turn into birds. And ask them for rent!  |

hello sir Ed,
yup flash was used. I'm observing the nest everyday and the cute chicks (2 head) are always begging for more food. Both parents are feeding the chicks

Nice documentation, Elvin. If possible, try to place a photogenic perch (a tree branch) a few meters away from the nest to seduce the parents to use it as a platform in getting to their home. If you have a hide (place this so that the background of the perch looks good), you can get mean shots of this bird with an A650.  |
