Maybe a little off-topic at the moment, but this was a wonderful scene
I think one could call this flying.

Maertha, thanks for being on-topic.

A super take off and a perfect landing on the nest again He could also handle the windstream

Fabulous Maertha......so sorry I missed this moment but thank goodness you caught it. And by the way.....this IS the topic....LOL....thank you....

Maertha,
thanks! I watched it on the webcam and thought exactly the same! Great pictures and great work to have saved that part!

Jo UK,
also thanks for your personal post. I think this website and the cameras are a good way to inform and to sensitizing people all around the world about the wild life taking actually part out there. Lot better than zoos.

Hi Cara, we have a new topic to discuss the pros and cons of the transmitters - perhaps some of your questions have been answered there: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=489

(I know the question about lightning strikes has been covered there ... the birds are not harmed)

Sunday 5 August

3:12

It is a bit early to start a new day but...
It is still pitch dark, but I heard a plane (I think) and rustling from the nest. Our birds seem to be sleeping sweetly.

edit: sorry about the duplicate
