EagleCAM Newsletter – July 2019, Issue 33 – ‘Two eggs have Hatched’

Newsletter – July 2019,  Issue 33

“Two eggs have hatched“

26th July, 2019 – Egg #1, SE-23 arrived at 8:38pm.

28th July, 2019 – Egg #2, SE-24 arrived at 5:54am.

 

6:53am on the 27th first feeding for SE-23. Lady fed small pieces of fish (whiting from 26th).

It wasn’t till early morning that SE-24 finally broke free from its shell. Both chicks have been receiving good feeds of fish.

 

Interesting fact:

It was suspected the Eagles practiced delayed incubation to try and get both eggs to hatch as close as possible. The eggs were laid about 75 hours apart and with the delayed incubation the difference in hatch time was reduced to about 33 hours. This would help to reduce sibling rivalry but as we have seen in the past it does not prevent it.

Raptors on the Bellarine Peninsula

I was putting tree guards on new plantings in our front paddock this morning when I heard raptors calling overhead. I looked up and saw three Brown Falcons and a Black Falcon overhead. As I was watching them, a Wedge-tailed Eagle soared over at a higher altitude. The Brown Falcons were interacting with each other, the Black Falcon and the Eagle were doing their own thing.

We put in our new plants last Thursday and, at one stage, there were five Black Kites looking for easy pickings where we were working. A Brown Goshawk flashed by shortly after.

All of the raptors mentioned above are regular visitors but it is unusual to see three species at once. It is also unusual that our resident Whistling Kites were nowhere to be seen.

Cheers

David
