BirdLife Australia Southern NSW again this year has started its study of the WBSE nesting at Sydney Olympic Park. This is our forth year with HD video cameras recording the full breeding cycle.
Each year we do see the eagles bring young Silver Gulls back to the nest. This starts when the eagle chicks are about six weeks old, till they fledge at about twelve to thirteen weeks. It has happened each year, but we have not seen them catch gulls at other times, not to say that it would not happen. They appear to like young gull, or they are easer to catch.
To see the live video stream (sorry about the adds) www.ustream.tv/seaeagles we have only one cam running at the moment but are working on the PTZ and expect to have it running next week.
This year the eagles have built another new nest which is about 75 meters from last years nest.
