Seven juves and two adults? They've done some excellent parenting to get that big a brood up to near-adulthood. Probably been exceptionally watchful, in which case you've done some excellent stalking to sneak up on them, which is what this photo feels like. Wonderful job!

Excellent shot of this group Stanley, some fine focus and lighting with the perfect setting.
