Sea Eagle Nest Cam Australia
You are watching a live Sea Eagle nest camera located at the Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney, Australia.
About the nest: The nest and camera are located about 50 feet above the ground in a eucalyptus tree within a protected nature reserve. The White bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is the second largest bird of prey in Australia.
local date/time:Nesting timeline:
This mating pair of White-Bellied Sea Eagles usually lays two eggs in June and incubates them until they hatch in late July. The young eaglets will then stay in the nest for about 90 days until they are ready to fledge. The eagles get fish from the nearby Parramatta River and surrounding wetlands of Olympic Park until the eaglets are 1-2 months old. Then their diet changes to Silver Gulls of which they catch from a small breeding colony on the wrecks in Homebush Bay. To learn more about this live cam please visit Sea Eagle Cam.org.
1st egg laid 6/8/22, hatched 7/19/22. 2nd egg laid 6/11/22, hatched 7/20/22. White bellied Sea Eagle eggs will hatch after 39-41 days of incubation. So with that said, hatch watch will start on July 15th(Day 38). Remember hatch/lay is always based on local time.
January 6: sad news from the nest. Last week we received a call from a vet. She had a banded juvenile, which I have confirmed is our bird. The rescue was at Spring Farm, in a suburban backyard, and he was unable to fly. SE33 was x-rayed and it was confirmed the left wrist is dislocated severely. The decision was made to euthanase the bird, as chances of flight and life without pain are slim. It is suspected the injury was caused by acute trauma. It was good news to learn that the bird had good body condition and has… Read more »
These are such dedicated parents and raise beautiful eaglets, but it just never seems to work out well for them. Makes me so sad.
Heartbreaking indeed 😭
Sad news…………………. November 12: We are sad to report that our younger juvenile SE34 has been euthanased. She received loving care after being found far from home, (see the attached photo) but after further veterinary assessment her future was not deemed possible. Severe eye problems and lack of vision in one eye meant she was virtually blind and would probably be in pain. Life is hard for newly fledged raptors. Unfortunately the other juvenile has also been found injured and is in care for further assessment. We are waiting for further information on SE33’s condition and future now and shall… Read more »
