At least two, possibly three young birds in the trees begging, but at least one of them was a good flying. I was thrilled to see an adult approach carrying a prey item. The youngster flew out to meet it, and the adult dropped the food and it was plucked out of the air by the youngster. Excellent to see, but unfortunately not able to get a photo of that. These youngsters were already good flyers, and not happy to sit around for photos :(
