Good Morning Everyone,
Thank you to absolutely everyone who sent good wish for Hugo Yugo. I was so touched by seeing that inbox full of your positive energy and caring. It means so very much to me. I had not expected to send any report this morning as it was expected that Hugo Yugo might still be feeling unwell. I am incredibly grateful to Dr Kate Green for the amazing care and surgery she did on our darling girl.
I ‘thought’ WRONGLY that Hugo Yugo would require a couple of days to recover. It is 2043 Monday evening and she has just chased Calico around the house! She had three tins of soft chicken and rice wet food and she is now watching Outlander on the telly. She is the strongest young lass!!!!!! All of The Girls are different; they each have separate personalities. She is amazing. It is no wonder that she is the boss of the house despite her size.
Second baby for M15 and F23! That is the morning update: Oh, goodness. Too cute. M15 has a big fish on that nest for his family.
Eagle Goddess got the hatch on video: https://youtu.be/ayZgbjIkrOI?
A little more alert and feisty in Gracie Shepherd’s video: https://youtu.be/ypKUeXPle34?
I want to keep track of what is going on at Port Lincoln. Monday saw 2 fish – a tiny one from Dad and a nice larger one from Mum. Nothing from the fairies.
Mum got a large fish in early on Tuesday. That was the only fish delivered until the time below (1319).
At Port Lincoln, the day turned out fine with five fish coming on the nest.
There is concern about the female at the Coobowie Nest in South Australia. She appears to be missing and her fledglings still need her!
Meanwhile in some ares of Australia there is a 50% decline in seabird numbers. This is frightening.
In the UK, five biodiversity actions have had huge success.
At SW Florida, as I write this, E25 is still trying to make its way into the world. Let us hope that it does not grow weak trying to get out of that shell. Meanwhile, E24 is nothing short of cute.
Just look at this image. You can see the size of E25’s pip and that little hairdo of E24.
M15 is always there – helping with cot rails and wanting to feed his babies. What an amazing Dad he is. I doubt that F23 understands just what an incredible male she has as a mate.
The chick is moving inside.
‘MP’ sent me news that we have the first egg at John Bunker Sands Wetlands. Sunday at 04:28.
Great Lakes Bald Eagle Cam caught Harry and Harriet on their snowy nest in Michigan on Monday.
Thank you so much for being with us for this short report. Please take care. See you soon.

I’m so happy Hugo is ok Mary Ann 😄😊😊
Your care is much appreciated, Connie. She is a very special girl amongst the four. I told the vet that I can’t lose her.
