Those eaglets look HUGE!
This pair is very well bonded. Precious to watch.

Thanks for pics!

I tend not to watch at this stage, just do quick tours as my heart does not like the pecking order.
When lots of food it is less.
No brekkie so far today so bigger one cranky. Will peek in later

The eaglets here are doing so well. Changing daily. Interesting watching this CS, and hearing osprey next door

Seems the osprey's chosen a mate - now for an egg

Eaglet Lusa has died
February 16, 2024
My guess is a fishbone got stuck in her throat.

Thanks Shep for posting.
Was awake wee hours this morning, and was devastated
Have not had time to post on the eagles, but watch each nest everyday

Nature can be cruel. :tissue:
