Hello!
Friday was spent forest bathing and spending time with my closest friend who suddenly lost her husband in the summer. It was a great day to be outside. The temperature was 10 C and there was no wind. Only clear blue sky. Walking in nature and feeding birds can transform you. Please, please, get out in nature especially when you are feeling overwhelmed. It really helps. And be mindful, the full moon is here.
The sun setting.
There are some wonderful videos of Yira’s fledge and some flying around campus. You need to see them! The top one is Yira flying on the campus taken by the Falcon Cam Project:
The second is a great multiple view of Yira’s fledge by SK Hideaways. It is dedicated to Garrama.
And another from the Falcon Cam Project of Yira flying over the tower. https://youtu.be/vZs9BbeE5Js?
It was nearing 1530 on Saturday and Wilko had some small fish early but Kasse had nothing. Will the fish fairies arrive?
No fish came but the little twiddler and Kasse had nothing on Saturday. Then the rain came. Not good. Let’s hope that there is a nest of fish when they wake up so that no one gets stressed.
At the same time, there was remaining on the ledge of 367 Collins Street the last hatch waiting to fledge.
The latest from Judy Harrington:
The fledgling, Bubba, at the Growing Home osprey nest near Sydney had a flight and returned to the nest. S/he is a gorgeous healthy osprey.
Sad news coming from ‘EJ’. Maybe everyone should tell this hatchery that its counterparts in the UK either allow people to take photos of the ospreys fishing and make more money (Gwash is a great example) or some allow the birds to eat!
“The fish hatchery is 220 acres with 49 ponds to raise fish for sport fishing.
Maybe they should have to watch an osplet starving to death in its nest.”
‘J’ sent us Rita the Eagle’s Fun Fact Friday from Rita’s FB page. Check it out and send Rita a message and tell her how much you miss her!
We have some great news from Hob Osterlund with the Laysan Albatross in Kauai’, Hawaii:
Just a short catch up this morning because I did not include some of the Yira videos last evening. Thank you for being with us! Take care.
Have a great weekend. Thank you for your happy moments. They are coming through slowly in the blog.
Thank you to the following for their notes, posts, videos, and streaming cams that helped me to write my post this morning: ‘EJ, J, SP’, SK Hideaways, Judy Harrington and the Olympic Park Eagles, Charles Sturt Falcon Cam, Port Lincoln Ospreys, ktvg.com, Rita the Eagle, Hob Osterlund.
