Sorry to sound a note of warning, but we have to remember that, historically, only one chick will survive on a nest. So the second chick, if it hatches, will not be greeted so warmly by the adults or by the present chick.

If only we could see that the records are wrong, on this occasion!
I thought about this when I watched the spotlet fed the first time. It was so fierce, so hungry and had so little control that it hit Eha's beak hard with its own beak. I was thinking about how another small eaglet would have coped.

It is just a matter of making sure that someone survives. So maybe if food remains plentiful and...

Alice - yes, if food is plentiful, maybe the outcome doesn't have to be as grim as we are told to expect.
We can't know yet.

Eha went for a short period..1or2mins
She began the feeding process,Koit arrived and that seemed to put her off.
She then turned to the ?vole and started to pull at it.after many hesitations Eha gave up and returned to the nest.
The eaglet was waiting eagerly for food.
Eha doesn't seem to know how to proceed ? :puzzled:
I haven't seen feeding today so I cannot compare.

It definitely seems to me that feeding the eaglet is something she is in the process of learning. She often eats the voles whole, so she seems a little confused about the process but she has successfully ripped up the prey and fed some to the chick.

Does the food get easier to rip up after it has been stored for a while?

I now do not see the egg

I did a couple of captures of feeding the spotlet they will probably be out of order but it is all one feeding. It was probably from a mouse. Initially Eha was waving the mouse around like the poor little spotlet could do something with the majority of a mouse carcass and as usual I just stared instead of doing a capture.
Feeding Starting about 8:31-- a bit before I began with the captures.
