December 22: a fine day again. Early morning, SE31 was flying back and forth, then at 7:07 our observer saw her catch a fish. She flew to a branch with it, but may have dropped it on landing as she was seen empty-taloned nearby shortly after. 2 ospreys were seen circling over the boat ramp nearby around 8am. One of the adults flew in with prey at 8:31 with the ospreys following. Prey was delivered to our juvenile and both disappeared into the mangroves. SE31 was then seen eating on the ground at Mangrove Island. No further reports during the day, though both adults were seen at Goat Island both with a fish. Our juvenile was seen on her home patch, flying over the bay, her usual roost places then off over the wetlands towards Homebush Bay it seems. A day of firsts. Then she appeared again over the river and was in the mangroves at end of day. A sunset photo of their patch from yesterday
22. decembris: atkal jauka diena. Agrā rītā SE31 lidoja šurpu turpu, tad pulksten 7:07 mūsu novērotājs ieraudzīja, ka viņa noķer zivi. Viņa ar to aizlidoja uz zaru, taču, iespējams, tā nokrita piezemēšanās laikā, jo īsi pēc tam tika redzēta tukšā. Ap plkst. 8 no rīta tika manīti 2 zivjērgļi, kas riņķoja virs laivas rampas. Viens no pieaugušajiem kopā ar medījumu ielidoja pulksten 8:31, zivjērgļiem sekojot. Medījums tika nogādāts mūsu mazulim, un abi pazuda mangrovju audzēs. Pēc tam SE31 tika manīts ēdam uz zemes Mangrovu salā. Dienas laikā vairs nav ziņu, lai gan abi pieaugušie tika redzēti Kazu salā, abi kopā ar zivīm. Mūsu mazulīte tika redzēta savā mājas ielā, lidojam pāri līcim, parastajām nakšņošanas vietām, tad pāri mitrājiem uz Homebush Bay, šķiet. Tad viņa atkal parādījās pāri upei un dienas beigās atradās mangrovju audzēs. Viņu ielāpa saulrieta fotoattēls no vakardienas.
Ērgļu nav, bet ciemiņi staigā
