Media notes
Low nest youngster also practice-flying in the nest tree. Landing well.
Observation details
The young bird (now about 9 weeks old) in the lower nest was flying around high in the nest tree, trying to break off sticks, taking short flights and landing with some competence, before going back to stand by its nest. Had hoped to see it foraging at the water's edge, but it stayed in the tree. No adults were around while we were there. The three birds in the high nest were clumped in and about the nest, doing a lot of wing fanning and a lot of looking around, but staying right at the nest, as best they can. (they are now about 7 weeks old).
