Africam Black Eagle Day 46, Dyfi Osprey Day 42,44&45, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 106&108, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Day 50,52&53 Fledge Watch Continues, White-bellied Sea Eagle

The Africam Black Eagle was in face plant mode this morning. So cute...

Then it popped its head up and looked around... (Look at that foot!)

...and did a big stretch before going back to sleep.

It was a blustery day at the Dyfi Osprey nest today. Mom is in the nest and Dad is on the back perch.

Zoomer gave us some nice close-ups.

Mom came to the nest.


Then she was gone again... I'm happy whenever I can get faces, especially Osprey. They spend so much time preening...

One of the Harrison Bay Eaglets was in the nest trying to figure out how to eat a turtle. Then the sibling came along and they beaked each other in greeting.


Check out the Turtles and Siblings video (3:13):

And... guess where they are spending the night... I think they have developed a nice routine. I like knowing where they are spending the night and that they will start out tomorrow with their parents who will help them get their next meal.

It was a busy day at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osprey nest. The parents are encouraging them to self-feed, leaving fish in the nest for them to make the attempt. There's a fish to the left and a fish to the right.

 Here's a video of the Osprey in the nest watching the Fledgling that is flying around the nest. Watching Fledglings Fly is like being at a tennis match where everyone turns their heads at the same time (1:53). The thumb-nail is one of the Fledglings landing:

I also put together a video of several more of the Take-offs, Landings, and Self-feeding from today (5:51). The thumb-nail is one of the Fledglings taking off:
 
Just one s'cap of the White-bellied Sea Eagle from today. It looks to be a much nicer morning than yesterday...
 
Nobody was home at the White Rock Eagle nest when I checked on them today...
