The fluffy white ball that was first spotted in the nest is now almost full size. Beautiful white feet, stunning feather colours, and a well-formed beak ready to make nice little mouthfuls of much larger prey. Recently I managed to get some lovely close-ups of what can no longer be called a "chick". With mum and dad close by keeping an eye on their pride and joy, the young Black-breasted Buzzard stood, sat, and yawned its way through another warm Central Australian afternoon.

Thanks for sharing these, Richard. It's great to see them.
