New egg at the White-bellied Sea-eagle nest, too, with a twist

It's a duck egg!

It's outside nesting season for the eagles at the Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle nest, and a duck has chosen the empty nest as a good spot to lay and incubate her eggs. A duck nested there during the off season last year, too, perhaps the same one. The nesting wasn't successful then, but perhaps this year she will have better luck. In any case, seems the eagle cam is a duck cam now.

Meanwhile the latest news I've heard of the eagles is that a juvenile sea-eagle found in the area had a three-week stay at wildlife hospital to recover from an injury, and has been successfully released back into the wild healthy and banded. It's believed to likely be one of the chicks from this nest, and looking at this news video about it, that does look very much like SE27.

Good luck to all of you modern dinosaurs out there, eagle and duck alike.

Guess the chick will have a deluxe start at life :D
Maybe not any safer, but deluxe :)
