Thank you very much for your lovely comments, Don. Much appreciated!
I hope to show more over the next few weeks. Although, they have done some backburning in this area to reduce leaf litter for the upcoming summer, so I hope they haven't been scared off or affected.

Wonderful shot. Always liked seeing these guys in the bush.
Thank you very much for your kind comments, trebor. Much appreciated!
Beautiful little bird and wonderful images. I appreciate your description of the differences between the sexes. Could you recommend a good book to ID birds in Australia? Will be looking forward to updates on their family as you move into summer.
A superb set of shots, they make me feel like I'm looking right over your shoulder at these beautiful creatures. I'm very excited to be visiting/birding Eastern Australia for three weeks this October and I'd be happy with photos half as good as these!

Thank you very much for such gracious comments, Carolyn. Much appreciated!
The book I use for identifying Aussie birds is "Photographic Field Guide - Birds of Australia" 2nd edition by Jim Flegg. This is one of the best I have used. Here it is at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Photographic-Field-Guide-Birds-Australia/dp/1876334789

If you are coming to Sydney, I would be more than happy to show you around and take you to some bird known "haunts", like where these little guys are. I can even take you to a spot where we can get Nankeen Kestrel shots up close. This is the Nankeen Kestrel in my gallery:
I am quite serious about helping you out as it gives me a good excuse to take photos and I like to show off our city. We have a group of keen birders that go out most weeks taking photos and I am sure that many would love to help out as well.
