Kārearea - Wilma hunting near her nest

We were watching kākāriki karaka nests today. Pete was pretty close to the kārearea nest; he was leaning back watching a nest hole and Wilma (the mother falcon) flew in and perched on a branch directly overhead and watched the human. I'm pretty sure if a parakeet had poked her head out of her nest hole she'd have been watching one or the other of them. A triangular watch perhaps.

Here is Wilma on her perch, presumably looking for lunch, but also keeping an eye on the humans.
