Just cute seaglets

Screenshots (cw: includes prey in view) from the past week at Sydney White-bellied Sea Eagle nest. The chicks have gone from these scruffy, little fluffballs:

(Older chick SE29 left, younger chick SE30 right in both pictures)

...to these bigger and ganglier fluffballs, with both having pennaceous feather growth clearly visible.

But first some more pictures from a week ago. SE30 being big spoon.

SE30 under SE29's wing.

Just sitting pretty. SE29 front.

Sibling rivalry still continues at mealtimes, as is normal. SE30 has figured out to stay farther away from SE29 and on mom's other side when food is in the equation, as peaceful as their coexistence is between feedings.

Both getting shoulder spots.

Closeups. Also a good view of the feathers starting to grow on the top of SE29's head.

SE29, SE30.

SE30 eating after SE29 is full.

And from today. SE29 front.

SE30's toes looked particularly nibbleable, I guess.

Let's cover those up.
