Eaglets removed from nest yesterday for fishing wire wrapped around them. 1 had fish hook in gullet, was in vet care. Stitches and antibiotics were given, was returned to nest. Both are fine now and can lead a normal life until fledge. 

After their ordeal.  :clap:

Fishing line before retrieval.  :(

15th October. After a long day for the seaglets and S3 spending the night with Dr Stacey the vet, mum returns to nest with dinner and can't quite understand where her missing baby is? Up, down and all around, looking at S4 "what have you done with S3?".

The calm strength of the hands holding those birds is just amazing.  You know they've communicated that calm to the birds.

Seaglets at sunset!

Those two are too cute together! I'm so glad the fishing line situation got resolved for them. Thanks Kris!!   :wave:

S4 branched this AM!  :hawk:

This video kind of reminded me of Orion and Orville!

Loved the faces at the end, like, uh oh, are mom and dad watching what we did! "Wasn't me!" LOL Good video!

Exactly what I was thinking when they looked up at the end! Too funny and the music was good too! Thanks Kris that was fun!!!  :clap: :wave:

S4 has fledged.S4 on his first perch, not the best but a little sheltered from the Currawong attacks.




S4 crouched down to avoid the Currawong attacks

The true currawongs are a little larger than the Australian Magpie, somewhat smaller than most ravens, but broadly similar in appearance. They are easily distinguished by their yellow eyes, in contrast to the red eyes of a magpie and white eyes of Australian crows and ravens. Currawongs are also characterised by the hooked tips of their long, sharply pointed beaks.[1] They are not as terrestrial as the Magpie and have shorter legs. They are omnivorous, foraging in foliage, on tree trunks and limbs, and on the ground, taking insects and larvae (often dug out from under the bark of trees), fruit, and the nestlings of other birds. They are distinguishable from magpies and crows by their comical flight style in amongst foliage, appearing to almost fall about from branch to branch as if they were inept flyers.

Good to hear!  He branched a few days ago so I figured fledging wasn't too far away! Thanks!

"branched"?

Not sure of this term... Thanks!!

Bobbie, branching is when the eaglet begins to perch on branches outside the nest.

 :good post: At the end of the video I like the sibling looking around like-which way did he go!?  ???   :thankyou:    :wave:

They say that S3 is flapping like crazy trying to fly like big brother did!

 :thumbsup:

Thanks, Nora!!!

The Sea Eagles had 2 eggs this year but after the hatch window closed, it was decided to retrieve the eggs which they did yesterday.  First report was that neither were fertile. Here's the egg retrieval video:
