White-bellied Sea-Eagle chicks SE29 (left) and SE30 at four weeks old. Loafing about waiting for fish deliveries and growing pennaceous feathers over their white fluff.
Lady feeding her eaglets. Younger chick SE30 goes to her other side, and both chicks are fed peacefully.
Dad arrives with another fish, and begins feeding SE29, while Lady feeds SE30.
Lady soon takes his fish and feeds both eaglets, who end the meal with full crops and ready for a nap. Lady does most of the feeding, like female raptors usually do, but Dad chips in at that occasionally, in addition to catching most of the food.
Two days later, SE29 has turned five weeks old.
Eating side by side without a squabble.
And another two days later, today. Both are now five weeks old.
