TODAY'S WEATHER
High 10C - light rain, cloudy with showers later in the day
Low 7C - cloudy with showers overnight.
Wind SW 10km/h

7:51am
Don't have time to stay, just popping in.
2 eaglets hunkered down in the bowl, one standing just to the right.
One in the bowl called out a couple of times but it did not bring a parent in.

7:53am
May be an adult close by as 2 are looking upwards in the tree.
The one standing does not appear to have a crop so I don't think they eaten yet today.


7:56am
The one standing picked at a stick, lifted it a bit then walked to the far side of the others to lay with them.

7:57am
The middle one is fussing now, crouched down and out of the bowl slightly, I can see those adorable feet.
He/she is picking away at the edge of the bowl.

7:59am
Middle one is now a flatlet half in and half out of the bowl

NOW.....11:49am
I can see one standing,partially obscured.
The other 2 are preening while balancing on the haunches at the edge of the bowl.
I'm not able to get a good look to see if they have crops.

Maybe a bit of a crop????


The one closest to us has been toying with a wing.
Looking at the feathers this could be the youngest.
The one facing us calling out intermittently.


12:02p,
I thought the round one was preening but now I think he's fallen asleep....looks rather awkward, don't you think
.

12:04pm
One is self-feeding.


12:05pm
no crop


12:07pm
The one eating beaks the one laying down because the one laying down just opened it's mouth to yawn. Maybe the other thought he was looking to be fed...


12:09pm
The one standing found something to pull on that I can see on both sides of the trunk.

12:10pm
Now both are pulling on it...cute.

OOPS!!! forgot to crop it...sorry.


12:12pm
The one standing gives up, now standing, but he did manage to find some food.

12:13pm
awwww...the one laying down picked up piece and the other just took it from him and is eating from it.
That's okay though cause the other has more to pick at.
you can see nestovers in the mouth of the one laying down.

Have not seen any aggression. We seem to see that more when the chicks are tiny.

Sorry, gotta run have not seen an adult the two times I've been here today.

3;25pm someone up for a poop shot as I was getting organized. after that there was a brief episode of beak to beak poking and shoving,. (just because Sandra mentioned not seeing any aggression they have to show off)

now another one up for a poop shot

I can see some sort of food item in the nest; it seems to have a very sleek appearance with no obvious feathers or fur.
Looking back at Sandra's s'caps, I don't see the food item I have indicated in my s'cap.

3:46pm everyone has been up for a bit of a walk

someone was eating from the sleek nestover for a few seconds.
he tried to step on it and nearly toppled over but then got a nice hold on it for a few seconds before stepping off and standing in front of the item







3:49pm this chick has now moved on to try and nibble from a feathery nestover at 3oclock
the siblings aren't interested.

3:52pm some nice flaps, still from the same chick.

4:06pm everyone it resting
