Observation details
It was extremely windy today, blowing from the SE. There was no sign of any nestlings in the hole today. I explored the area a bit and at one point the adult female flew full speed across the open expanse.Not long after, in a tree not far from me, I noticed a male, the young fledgling I believe) it was not flying fast so I figured it couldn't be the adult male. in the open country quite some ways away I later spotted the male in the far distance. I did see him move a couple of time to other perches in the country. I saw him make some high speed manoeuvres in the air before he eventually flew out of sight. It was like he was enjoying the strong winds. Heavily cropped pics.
