sydney region is on fire :no: very badly !! :brknhrt: of course Sydney sea eagles are in danger with smokes orange Falcons have dusts. just before their fledge. :no: At SWFEC one can see how low the veranda is now... or goes high the nest is. the impact of the new home buildings close to their nest ...

thank you that's great one Melbourne eyas fledged
soon orange ! little pluto looks so ready now ❤
and soon the cycle begins again. NEFL. SWFEC. the others.
Without me... probably.

thanks for the news from the other side of the world Philippe.

i read no news from SE24. hope he's doing right
Se23 death still hurts !

this is so sad. after 2 years of nightmare on this nest we were so close to finally... smile and be happy.
I'm heartbroken.

this is so sad...
it's been such a wonderful season and...
RIP baby SE23...

beautiful little ones !
at orange Pluto, the youngest chick, broke the unhatched egg. hopefully no dead chick so it wasn't fertilised. he ate what was in it. Some yolk at least, not very fresh

chicks in Melbourne are close from fledge now

thank you so much Philippe for posting this and thank you Carolyn for your very kind words

Yes Smola is one of my favourite nests. I have also the honour to moderate their YouTube chat with lady hawk
I miss this beautiful female and we have to wait for what will happen next.

anti trichomonasis shots can be given to young chicks.
they could provide better shade of the boxes. not to mention cleaning it between 2 seasons.
but it's too late. how many chicks will survive this season? If any?
yes they have a non intervention policy...

RIP little baby

and now we worry again for SE23...
and Harriet.
this is too much sometimes.
I'm thinking about having a year break... I need it.

This afternoon we were so happy to see baron and baroness home after weeks of them being away... until we realise that the female on nest WAS NOT baroness. but a young one. she still has brown eyes... we're devastated. streambird will look after baroness. or maybe she'll be back to try to take over ...

though I'm glad SE24 is spotted doing so well, now I worry for SE23 :dunno: where is this little one... ? in Orange falcons babies have been named : Gaia - probably female #1 - and Pluto for little #2. the theme for the naming was the planets. do I dare saying I don't like Pluto at all. god of hell ...

I was so happy to see the good news about sea eagles...
until I read your post Philippe
this looks so bad

With all the excitement of seeing E9 and the GHO incidents at SWEC. . . .
Is there an update on SE 24?

hi Sunnybird

I'm looking at their chat and people say he's close to the river. 23 is on the opposite side...
they said they heard him... he was so silent on nest...

thank you Mimi, love that ! looks like young e9 had a bit bigger eyes but everything else is so similar! On Sydney WBSE se23 fledged today at 12:56. poor baby was harassed by magpies and he got fed up about them. Stay safe little one. rangers are looking after him and probably after SE24 who hasn't ...

hi Sunnybird
Victor was filmed in french mountains to watch the melting of the glaciers in the Alps... I saw it

Baby SE24... stay safe. I hope dad is close to you and maybe will get something to eat for you tomorrow.

thank you to the rangers.

I hope tomorrow is another day and brings SE24 back to the nest or at least we know he's ok. I don't want him to die. he hasn't got all along to leave us now.

On the bright side...
a beautiful sub adult was spotted at SWFEC - he went on nest, moving material, then to snag, at the pond... looked so comfortable and familiar...
on his way to his 3 years old.
Could it be e9 ??

here is lady hawk video

so gorgeous!

what a terrible morning for me. SE24 fledged while I was sleeping. he went back to the nest after spending time on a branch below the nest, then fell on ground and was attacked by a fox :no: He could chase him and then flew off. Rangers were sent to look for him but it seems he could find a branch t...

hey, where is my little bro', did he fly ?
oh here he is

bonjour Philippe, Sunnybird, Journi and everyone

I made a video of the intruder eagle flying to nest tree. he looks very big to me.

https://youtu.be/cC81OBEu_Ug

both WBSE are now branching

WBSE / SE24 branched (IMO)

At 17:56 SE24 hopped on branch where lady was ! sea eagles cam consider this is not a branching as little one didn't actually fly to the.branch.

yes it's easier to watch with 2 eggs in orange. even if there's no bonking or sibling rivalry in peregrine Falcons.

orange babies are incredibly loud. yesterday they were so loud I thought it was the prey Xavier brought that was screaming hopefully not !

probably 2 chicks again in orange. little#3 stopped chirping and no progress in hatching.

this pic is...

philjo

now 2 in orange Oct 5th - 9:16
Welcome little ones ! 2nd chick could even eat a bit 30' after hatch

Australia peregrine Falcons are hatching ! 1st one in Orange. 1st feeding in Smola, Baron is alone in the nest tree

A family choir in Sydney !
