Projekta darbinieki atraduši SE17, nejauku kraukļu apsēstu, vietā, ko sauc par "saltmarsh" - vieta, kas applūst ar sālsūdeni un kur nekas daudz neaug. Arī vecāks netālu nosēdās, lai gan viņi neredzēja barošanu. Par lielu izbrīnu, viņi ieraudzīja lidojam virs galvām citu jūras ērgļu jaunuli.
SE17 pacēlās spārnos un palaidās uz priekšu, kad viņi tuvojās. Un vēlāk viņš ielaidās kokā!

This morning we received a report of a juvenile Sea-Eagle near the river.
Going to check a short while later, I heard lots of birds making a fuss over Main Lagoon -something's happening!
Going to check I saw SE17 standing in the saltmarsh. Over a couple of hours, Steve, Shirley and I watched him being swooped and seriously pecked by ravens. An adult landed beside him twice, though we saw no feeding.
To our great surprise another juvenile eagle flew over. No longer about though.
We were very concerned at the submissive posture and apparent poor condition of 17. We circled around and approached by a different direction. Again to our surprise, he took off and flew a short distance.
We left him safe (I hope) apparently in a tree. Still being swooped. I am unsure that he has been fed.
Hopefully tomorrow the parents will bring food and he stays in this safe area.
