After a couple of disappointing years this years effort looks promising.
Should be fledging soon.

I nest that fell in Feb 2011 still had eagles in it. These look almost ready to fledge already.

They’ll fledge soon, maybe a couple more days free food from mum and dad.
Still haven’t fledged but living on the edge.

They leave the nest and jump up on nearby branches for a while, it’s a prelude to fledging.

Storms are a coming in Sydney, apparently.
Ah, looks like they missed the birdies.
Anyone know what those birdcalls are in the background.

Pied currawong, red wattlebird, two frog species, crow, aeroplane and others.
If you can ID the others then let me know.
S15 the sea eagle chick that hadn’t fledged decided today was the day, stepped off into the void and went straight down apparently.
They are searching for him now.

He was off-nest last night, after an unsuccessful return from a higher branch. AFAIK, he spent last night and most of today on a branch below the nest. Wasn’t aware that he is now missing :/
