Mazliet ekskursijas pa tuvākajiem zariem. Bīstami ir, bet ko darīt.Kaut kad jāsāk zarot. Parasti šis beidzas ar jauniešu noplanēšanu zemē, jo kurras ir nejaukas un lido gar ērglēniem. Uzbrūk pa taisno
October 21: early duets and eagles were away at first light. Lady returned with a small gull chick at 6:38 and dad shortly after with a fish. SE33 grabbed the gull and self-fed –only fluff not real feathers. SE34 grabbed the fish and ate it all. Lady took over with the chick from SE33 and fed 34 a little. Later both eagles were reported down on River roost. Se33 was seen earlier up higher on the perch branch and 34 almost flapped to the branch as well. Swoopers were very active – magpie as well. The eaglets move back to the net when swooped. 10:15 Lady brought in a fish, but off again as swoopers were busy. Windy as well by the nest. at 13:28 Dad brought in a small fish which was grabbed by SE34, but as a currawong swooper distracted, it was stolen and eaten by SE33. Both eagles were seen soaring very high over the river shortly after. At 15:22 Dad brought in the remains of a small bird, not a gull, which was grabbed and eaten by SE34, with its sibling watching on. Currawong was swooping Dad nearby. He returned to the nest briefly and fed the scraps to SE33, before leaving again. 6:30 pm, windy and SE33 was “flying” from nest to perch branch, flapping and jumping and back again. – so close to fledging. SE34 was flapping and jumping too Just before 7pm, more prey when dad brings remains of a bird, Lady following A last evening feed from Lady then though swooper was very persistent.
21. oktobris: agri dueti un ērgļi bija prom pirmajā gaismā. Dāma atgriezās ar mazu kaijas cāli pulksten 6:38 un tētis neilgi pēc tam ar zivi. SE33 satvēra kaiju un pabaroja. SE34 paķēra zivis un apēda visu. Dāma pārņēma cāli no SE33 un nedaudz pabaroja 34. Vēlāk tika ziņots, ka abi ērgļi atrodas upes apmetnē. Se33 agrāk tika novērots augstāk uz asari zara, un 34 arī gandrīz uzkāpa uz zara. Ļoti aktīvi bija swoopers. Kad ērgļi tiek notriekti, tie atgriežas pie tīkla. 10:15 Dāma atveda zivi, bet atkal izgāja, jo swoopers bija aizņemti. Pie ligzdas arī vējains. plkst.13:28 tētis ienesa mazu zivtiņu, kuru satvēra SE34, bet, kurrawong swooper novērsa uzmanību, to nozaga un apēda SE33. Neilgi pēc tam abi ērgļi tika manīti ļoti augstu paceļamies virs upes. 15:22 tētis ieveda maza putna, nevis kaijas mirstīgās atliekas, kuras sagrāba un apēda SE34, un viņa brālis un māsa skatījās. Kurrovongas uzbruka tētim netālu. Viņš uz īsu brīdi atgriezās ligzdā un izbaroja paliekas SE33, pirms atkal devās prom. 18:30, vējains un SE33 “lidoja” no ligzdas uz asara zaru, plivināja un lēkāja un atkal atpakaļ. Arī SE34 plīvoja un lēca Īsi pirms pulksten 19:00, lielāks laupījums, kad tētis atnes putna atliekas. Dāma sekoja pēdējā vakara padevei no Lady, lai gan swooper bija ļoti neatlaidīgs.

October 22: a quiet night with SE33 sleeping standing on the rim. All were awake early with the usual singing, all joining in. SE33 was very energetic, flapping up to the perch branch and flying back. Later both were resting on a fairly hot day. During the morning both adults were seen down on the river together and heard duetting. 1pm – eaglets still waiting for prey delivery. Finally Lady brought a gull chick at 14:25 -along with a magpie swooper – eaglets heads down. She started feeding them, watching for swoopers as currawong has joined in as well. Then the eaglets again rested on the nest for the late afternoon. It was a lean prey day and again irritating swoopers. Then at end of day Dad brought in a gull at 18:42, grabbed by Lady and again fed to the eaglets.

22. oktobris: klusa nakts ar SE33 gulēšanu, stāvot uz loka. Visi bija agri nomodā ar parasto dziedāšanu, visi pievienojās. SE33 bija ļoti enerģisks, uzsita līdz zaram un lidoja atpakaļ. Vēlāk abi atpūtās diezgan karstā dienā. No rīta abi pieaugušie redzēti kopā uz upes un dzirdējuši duetu. 13:00 – ērgļu mazuļi joprojām gaida medījuma piegādi. Beidzot lēdija pulksten 14:25 atveda kaiju cāli - kopā ar varenes sūperi - ērgļu galvām uz leju. Viņa sāka tos barot, vērojot, vai nav pievienojušies arī kurravonga. Tad ērgļi atkal atpūtās uz ligzdas vēlu pēcpusdienu. Tā bija liesa laupījuma diena un atkal kairinoši swoopers. Tad dienas beigās tētis pulksten 18:42 atveda kaiju, kuru lēdija satvēra un atkal izbaroja ērgļus.
"Mīļās kaimiņienes"nekur nav palikušas. Lidinās un kaitina ērglēnus. Bail paliek uz to skatīties. Katru gadu kurras ir vainīgas pie tā, ka tos nosit no zariem. Jaunie nespēj noturēt sevi līdzsvarā un planē lejā

October 23: an early quartet at first light. SE33 was getting more adventurous, moving higher up the perch branch and back again. SE34 was also very active early, moving up that perch branch, flapping wings and back. We acknowledge SE34 as branching now, early- around 6:16, flying from perch branch back to the nest. Late currawong swoopers were busy, with both nestlings objecting loudly. Late in the morning both were quietly resting in the nest bowl –waiting. Around 2:4 SE33 ventured way up the perch branch, and when swooped, flew back to the nest – a relief.SE34 followed then they duetted – in relief? Later 33 ventured higher again, moving to other branches and 34 a little way. When a swooper arrived, 34 retreated to the nest, then 33 made its way down as well. 33 is exploring new branches around the nest. At 4pm both eagles were seen down on the river –away all day. Finally Lady brought in an eel at 16:20- fed 34. 33 was slower to come close, but was then interested in the tail end. Dad turned up at the eel meal, with the swooper and feeding paused. Both were fed then and self-fed too – a long eel meal. Swooper still persistent at evening, with Lady at the nest protesting –and quite a windy night. SE34 was still eating left-overs on the rim until nearly 6pm. Then Dad came back and fed them a little more.

23. oktobris: agrīnais kvartets pirmajā gaismā. SE33 kļuva azartiskāks, virzoties augstāk pa asara zaru un atkal atpakaļ. Arī SE34 agri bija ļoti aktīvs, virzoties uz augšu pa to lakta zaru, plīvojot ar spārniem un muguru. Mēs atzīstam, ka SE34 zarojas tagad, agri- ap 6:16, lido no asara atzarojuma atpakaļ uz ligzdu. Vēlie kurravongas swoopers bija aizņemti, abiem ligzdām skaļi iebilstot. Vēlu no rīta abi klusi atpūtās ligzdas bļodā – gaidīja. Ap pulksten 14:4 SE33 uzdrošinājās augšup pa asara zaru un, nosviedot, aizlidoja atpakaļ uz ligzdu – atvieglojums. Sekoja SE34, tad viņi duetē – atviegloti? Vēlāk 33 atkal uzdrošinājās augstāk, pārejot uz citām filiālēm un 34 nedaudz tālāk. Kad ieradās sweoper, 34 atkāpās uz ligzdu, pēc tam 33 devās arī lejā. 33 pēta jaunus zarus ap ligzdu. 16:00 abi ērgļi tika manīti lejā uz upes — prom visu dienu. Beidzot lēdija atnesa zuti pulksten 16:20 – baroja 34. 33 bija lēnāk pietuvoties, bet tad viņu ieinteresēja astes gals. Tētis ieradās pie zušu maltītes ar swooper un barošanas pauzi. Swooper joprojām ir neatlaidīgs vakarā, un lēdija pie ligzdas protestē - un diezgan vējaina nakts. SE34 joprojām ēda pārpalikumus uz malas līdz gandrīz pulksten 18. Tad tētis atgriezās un pabaroja viņus vēl nedaudz.

October 24: an early quartet to welcome the day, then Lady was off chasing a currawong. Both eaglets moved out on the limb together side by side. Eaglets were resting – waiting –and Lady brought in a gull just before 10am, along with swoopers. SE33 self-fed well and both were fed a little by Lady. After a quiet morning then, Lady flew in at 12:15. She must have seen Dad coming with a fish. This was grabbed by SE34, taking a long time to break into the flesh. Lady tried to join in, SE33 ate a little until finally they left it at 2:30. A long feed. Dad finished off a few scraps. Both were then resting on the nest and venturing up perch branch- flapping and exploring a little. Both Eagles were seen down on the river at 16:40. At dusk eaglets were standing on the rim – with a magpie swooping.

24. oktobris: agrs kvartets, lai sagaidītu dienu, pēc tam Lady devās dzenādamies pēc currawong.Ērgļu mazuļi atpūtās un gaidīja, un lēdija īsi pirms pulksten 10 no rīta ieveda kaiju kopā ar swoopers. SE33 pašbaroja labi un abus nedaudz baroja lēdija. Pēc klusa rīta Lady atlidoja pulksten 12:15. Viņa noteikti ir redzējusi tēti nākam ar zivi. To satvēra SE34, un bija nepieciešams ilgs laiks, lai ielauztos miesā. Dāma mēģināja pievienoties, SE33 nedaudz ēda, līdz beidzot 14:30 viņi to pameta. Ilga gara ēšana. Tētis pabeidza atlikumu. Pēc tam abi atpūtās uz ligzdas un metās augšup asara zaros, plīvojot un nedaudz izpētot. Abi ērgļi tika pamanīti upē pulksten 16:40. Iestājoties krēslai, uz apmales stāvēja ērgļu mazuļi – ar vareni svilpa.
Sveiki! Rits Sidnejā mierīgs .saulains. Diena iesils līdz +21 grādam.
Apsveikumi se33. Pirmais īsais izlidojums uz pretējo zaru 6.19. Tagad jādomā kā tikt atpakaļ ligzdā
