Nest Cam Round-up: White-bellied Sea Eagle Day 21 and 22, Africam Black Eagle, Dyfi Osprey, Location Updates for Bald Eagles Camellia, Grace, and NX

Today is day 22 for the White-bellied Sea Eagle. The chick is growing like a weed. First is the week 3 collage from yesterday, day 21. You can tell how much it is growing by comparing its size to the egg. Week 1 and 2 s'caps were taken on rainy days, but the chick is nice and dry again for this week's scap.

Here are the other s'caps from yesterday, (9/2 our date, 9/3 their date.) Here's the other close-up of the chick that I was considering for the collage.

Mom brought a huge fish to the nest. We know it's Mom because she is dirty where she's been laying in wet leaves.

That's a big fish!

Zoomer gave us some nice close-ups of the feeding.




Mom fed the chick for a while. Then the baby did a 5-point-stance poop shot. (5 point: two feet, two wings and one head.)
 
Eventually, Mom left then nest. Then all of a sudden, Mom landed in the nest. (Dirty belly and legs.)

Then two seconds later, Dad landed. (Nice and clean.)

They were both looking around. I don't know if there was a threat that brought them to the nest together.

 I've just got these three s'caps from today, taken just now. The baby is watching one of the parents pluck a small bird. You can see feathers scattered nearby in the nest.



The Africam Black Eagle was tucked up in the back of the nest again yesterday.



Yesterday at the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest there was only one Osprey on the high perch behind the nest. And I can't tell if it's an adult or one of the fledglings.

Today's scene is almost the same as yesterday, except there's a big fish in the nest.

 
There is an update for Bald Eagle Camellia. He has been making the rounds!

Bald Eagle Grace has also checked in. She has found a good fishing spot!

And, not wanting to be left out, Bald Eagle NX checked in.
