That’s good to see DA, that the little tykes are ok. :D

Ps it looks like the falcon was nesting in OZ, :D unless there are large eucalypts in other parts. Strange thing though, I thought those had 5 lugnuts on the wheels, I’m surprised at 4.

Could well have been in OZ Greg. Ford Falcons were sold there in the 60s. Blue gum Eucalyptus are in California not sure what kind Eucalyptus has the Flacon nesting?
