New seaglets and osplet closeups

Screenshots from two raptor nestcams. The latter includes views of fish prey.

First a couple of peeks at the two little eaglets at Sydney White-bellied Sea-Eagle nest. Older chick SE29 hatched July 18th, and the younger SE30 early this morning. It's already night now on their time zone, so I'll have a better look at them tomorrow, but both are doing well, brooded by their mother Lady.

Then screenshots from nest#4 of Sääksilive Osprey nests. The two osplets Una and Jouko are six weeks old, the younger chick Jouko exactly today.

Una stretches a wing.
And immediately after Jouko does the same.
Chatting with mom who is perching on the camera.
A late night feeding, Una on the left.
"My bite!"
Una gets to swallow the fishtail.
More staring at mom. They look so cute and silly from this angle. :)
Una at the front.
Preening sesh. Jouko left, Una right.
Wingers by Jouko.
Seeing something interesting?
Jouko on the right now. Una has just stayed in the same spot the whole time.
 
Another closeup feeding, from today. Una gets her share first, as per pecking order, while Jouko waits for it to be his turn.

And now it is. Una meanwhile picks at some fish guts by herself for dessert.
