Gluži otrādi,
pašreizējā situācija nav nekas neparasts. Arī iepriekšējos gadus darbinieki bieži vien ilgus laika periodus nesastapa mazos ērglēnus, redzot tikai reizi pa reizei. Tas ir normāli, pat labi, māk maskēties
Rīt ap 50 brīvprātīgo dosies meklēt mazo SE17. Visi vietējie tiek lūgti nebarot ne mazo, ne lielos ērgļus.
Es ticu, ka ar ērgļu ģimenīti viss ir kārtībā
SE17 māk lidot, mācās no vecākiem izturēties savā vidē, un putnu dieviņš visus uzmana

## UPDATE ## 6:10pm, 24th October
No new sightings of SE17 today, just a few comments.
Tomorrow there is a bird survey in and around the park. Fifty volunteers have been asked to look out for SE17 while they do their surveys.
Our team is run by volunteers. Judy our lead researcher has put in a HUGE number of hours looking for SE17, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and today. Stephen and his partner Shirley have also been on the ground searching Friday and Sunday. Thanks also to Cathy Cook for being out and about at sunrise today, looking for any signs of SE17 or the parents flying to particular locations around the perimeter of the reserve. All the rangers and security personnel have been asked to report any sightings. All of our moderators are doing a terrific job looking after the comments here on Facebook, our group page and on chat/social stream.
The current situation is not out of the ordinary. In 2011, S2 vanished "without a trace" for nearly a month before being sighted at the waterbird refuge. Following that, we didn't see him for 5 months. In 2012, S4 took his first flight from the nest and apart from that day, wasn't seen for nearly a month. Even then "we" didn't see him or his sister every day. They were around (the river) off and on for a couple of months, prior to moving on.
If SE17 is found injured or unable to fly, we would take him for treatment. Yesterday, despite not leaving the ground for several hours, when Judy and co. approached from a different direction, he flew off.
Lastly, if you are local, or plan visiting the area. please do not feed either SE17 or his parents.
If there is an update, we will tell everyone.
