Great shot! Adorable fledgling!

Yep, I christened it Curious George for obvious reasons. That pair nested in the very busy Great Court at UQ. Sadly, one of the parents passes away, and the other disappeared. Prior to moving away from Brisbane, I'd be walking through the university court often and would always look around in hope.

Perfect name! That is so sad. I know it is part of life, but especially when it is a creature you see regularly, you want to see them thrive!
