I wonder how long the little chick can survive this bad weather

I fear for its life now. It must be cold & hungry.

There were two feedings this morning. It's no raining and eaglet dried out. But it's pretty windy still.




Both parents in the nest.

Early morning feeding (Australian time):






Late afternoon feeding:






Between these feedings there have been a lot more. The eaglet (SE13) is doing well. It seems that the second egg won't hatch though.

Eaglet slept at night on the egg-pillow.

It's started to rain again.

Oh my !! Is that snow or hail in Mom's back ? Maybe just raindrops ?

Fortunately only raindrops, but rain stopped.

After the second feeding, eaglet's crop was nicely filled.

Thanks for all the pics Mamicja. The babe is looking better now,lots of food and I see the pin feathers growing back on its back. Nice fluffy chick again.
I hope the rain stays away now.

Last time eaglet ate 14 hours ago.

Due to heavy rain breakfast was later than usual and very short.
But eaglet isn't wet fortunately

Eaglet grows very fast, two weeks ago it fits into an egg.


There are lot of birds around the nest, this one looks like kookaburra.
