The Eaglets are growing really big now. They are filling the nest right up. It is very windy there and the trees are swaying about real bad I am surprised they manage to stay in the nest.

There are four Trev's Mum, all the eggs hatched. they grow so quickly don't they. Their parents have been catching pidgeons to feed them with. There are plenty round Derby so it is probably an easy meal for them. They pluck then so fast the other day it was windy and the feathers were floating off in a blur.

The eaglets are getting so big they look like sentinels standing on the edge of the nest all evenly spread out. The oldest one has made a move onto a branch near the nest it is getting more room to flap its wings ready for leaving the nest. They are magnificent birds.

- CommentTimeJun 3rd, 2009 5:14pm (Jun 3rd 2009)
The eaglets are now branching. Branching is a term used as they mature, becoming more independent and move off the nest and walk out on the branches that extended from the nest. They will spend several hours on a branch but will always return to the nest.
Branching may last for a several weeks or so.
After branching they will start to take flight. The adult bald eagles will lure the eaglet into flight; (fledge) but not too far from the nest. They will also fly off with the parent bird to learn to hunt food.
After they fledge they will continue to return to the nest for about a month or as long as there is enough food for all.
The distinctive white head and tail feathers do not appear until Bald Eagles are about 4 to 5 years old. Their beak and eyes turn yellow during the fourth and fifth year, and are dark brown prior to that time. Bald Eagles are about 29 to 42 inches long, can weigh 7 to 15 pounds, and have a wing span of 6 to 8 feet. This makes them one of the largest birds in North America. Females are larger than males. They have a life span of up to 40 years in the wild, and longer in captivity.
The nest is used year after year, can be ten feet in diameter and can weigh up to two tons.

Inadvertent Fledging
Tuesday, June 02, 2009

Just before 6 pm this evening (June 2nd) Eaglet HE - the youngest of the three was hop-flying across the nest. This is typical behavior for young eagles and allows them to strengthen their flight muscles as they get closer to fledging. The eaglet overshot the rim of the nest slightly and dangled by its talons for a short time before releasing and dropping from the nest

Garden visitors watched the young eagle spread its wings and glide a short distance away from the nest. Biologists with CCB and VDGIF responded along with Norfolk Botanical Garden personnel. CCB & NBG staff were able to capture the young bird without incident. The bird is unharmed.

VDGIF & CCB biologists will return the bird to the nest tomorrow morning. Nuckols Tree Care will again volunteer their services to assist us. If all goes according to plan the bird will remain in the nest for a week or more - gaining the strength it needs to successfully take its first flight.

The male that fledged (band HK) had been perched on a branch near the nest. He must be hungry and waiting for the parent to bring food. He just took off again and out of sight.
Back again and setting on a branch above the nest. He’s flying from branch to branch. He just walked down the branch and is on the nest. Off again to another branch. He’s very active today.

Injured Peregrine
Regular blog readers will be aware that one of this year's juvenile females suffered a severe wing injury which will prevent her ever flying wild and being capable of fending for herself.
We refer to her as "010" after her ring number, but she is now being cared for by a falconer who has long been supportive of our project. Colin now calls her "Cathy" - after the Cathedral - as he says he needs a name to shout to her when he's exercising and getting her to fly. Colin reports that she is doing fine as can be seen in this high-quality video made by local photographer, Jon Salloway, and taken about two weeks ago. It shows the incredible progress she has made since she was found on the ground, but her damaged wing can be clearly seen in some of the shots. Since then Colin reports that she is still doing well, and we're pleased to support him in the fine job he's doing with her.

This is the latest on the injured falcon, go to the site to see the lastest film clips.

Hi Diane, i thought maybe this could do with going in here, what do you think? http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0

It's a lots of chicken poo's (some of them runny, sorry!) and underneath it tells you why they are the way they are, and what is wrong with the chicken doing them.

I found it very helpful, especially now that Milly is ill and I was able to check her poo was 'normal.' It's a great reference.

Ode to the Poo

Had a look at the poo collection
didn't expect such a wide selection

Made me feel all queer and pale
some were fresh and some were stale

It's handy to be well informed
just step carefully on the lawn

Now I've got that off my chest
I need a drink and a little rest.

Yah, I especially like the bit where "informed" rhymes with "lawn." Forced me to read with an Australian accent. LOL But, seriously, that was a nice piece of writing!

I was thinking that too - how else can you pronounce 'em? Seriously, I'm not joking!!

I think they say 'lahhhhn' instead of 'lorn', Red.
Weird...

This is an interesting discussion because one doesn't think about global pronunciations when writing poetry but of course it must make a difference sometimes, but I agree girls I thought everyone said 'lorn' for lawn but CC you are probably right it's more a 'laaaahhn' sound in the US, although depending on where you live........
We forget that we all no doubt speak quite differently and have a variety of accents.

Maybe we could have 'global cam' and all hear each other chat, but then we would never get a word in edgewise as we would be so busy talking and it may sound like a bunch of hens clacking and clucking.

Heavens I am verbose today and there is noone else here!!!!
