Detalles de la observación
I observed a Nesting pair of Brown Falcons with at least 3 chicks.Prolific hunters busy feeding the young ones. The female is very relaxed constantly on or near the nest while the male goes off into the surrounding fields to hunt. Both are constantly harassed by other birds. The falcons also go out and chase the surrounding birds when threatened. I saw the male falcon swoop and take on a group of 3 Kookaburras as the sat on a nearby powerline. The falcons also have a nearby bush that they use to drop their excess prey into- as a cache' or pantry.
