A Hadeda Mum

and her little chicks. The nest is on my neighbours pergola, sheltered by a big tree. I was surprised last week to see them from my kitchen window. I had to get a ladder to get higher up for this shot.

How amazing to have them nesting so close to habitation, is that normal for Hadedas?

@judithdeacon Not really Judith, but I think there is more food in our lawns for them thann out in the wild. We have a lot of them coming during the day. They are very noisy and messy birds.
