Dramatic Rescue!

Not really.

A friend of mine has been doing some clearing of exotic vegetation with his chainsaw and almost missed this nest of baby birds in the process.

The noise of the chainsaw is deafening and with his ear guards on he thought that much wild gesticulating meant he needed to cut that branch more deeply before it would fall.

Luckily he managed to avoid the nest and now a tree stands devoid of branches but for this one lone nest refuge.

The birds are called "Bokmakeries" in common terms and are actually shrikes.

Enjoy this rare view of chicks only a few days old 🙂
