Hi all. This morning i visited our black eagles at the botanical gardens and arrived earlier than usual. it was amazing to see J on the nest as i knew i woild get him in an early flight. a little whille later before he flew i saw the parents to my left in stealth mode and watched carefully as it seemed as though they were hunting. i noticed Emm had disapeared behind a tree. she swooped up in the air very suddenly and viewed prey through my lens. After shooting a series of pics. i reviewed them briefly and was shocked to see what appeared to be a Peregrine falcon.i take it that Em had enough of them as they continuosly disrupted jonos flights and took one of the falcons out and dumped it on the side of the mountain. theres a good and a sad sighting to this as now jono will not feel so threatened to fly and i feel heart broken for the falcons mate as i have seen them mating twice, the last was yesterday morning. When the eagles flew off after they dumped the falcon the other went after the two eagles and dive bombed them both in the distance . i hope that things will settle for both the eagles, specially jono and the othet falcon. here are some of the pics i took
