A fishing hook attached to a fish brought by Dad lands on tiny SE37 at Sydney Olympic Park. The chick is okay, but the hook then disappears into the nest, prompting a temporary livestream shutdown and investigation.
A Powerful Owl swoops past Lady and Dad’s Sydney Olympic Park nest, triggering an intense vocal defense as SE37 and SE38 rest below. The encounter raises a bigger question: how much of a threat could Australia’s largest owl pose to tiny sea eagle chicks?
SE38 hatches at Sydney Olympic Park less than 25 hours after SE37. The two fluffy sea eagle siblings arrived remarkably close together despite their eggs being laid 77 hours and 34 minutes apart.
Sea eagle SE37 had a busy first full day at Sydney Olympic Park, from tiny bites of fish to a funny lesson in balance, while sibling SE38 continued working from inside a pipped egg.
Lady steps away from her two eggs long enough for the Sydney Olympic Park camera to move in for a remarkably close look. With hatch watch drawing nearer, every mark on those shells suddenly deserves a second glance.
