I hope your brother has the appropriate licence to photograph those birds of prey on the nest.

Here's the law. I thought it would of been fine to take a picture like the one in question as the birds are out of the nest, but as you can see if there near the nest at all you cant take pictures.

under Section 23 (6)(b) of the Wildlife Act, 1976 (as amended) for a person to take or make photographic, video or other pictures of a protected wild animal of a species specified in the licence, and
under Section 22 (9)(f) of the Wildlife Act, 1976 (as amended) for a person to take or make photographic, video or other pictures of a protected wild bird of a species specified in the licence on or near a nest containing eggs or unflown young.

Maybe my comment seemed a little harsh but at the end of day the main concern should be for the birds. Glad he has a license and good to see the young birds looking good and almost ready to fledge.
