Young greater spotted eagle named Teet

 

Greater spotted eagle      Clanga clanga

 

Eagle-chick Teet is one week and two months old. He has passed the 2-month fledging age, but appears not too keen to fledge yet. He makes some wing flapping excercises and sits on the branch, but has not gone out for a flight yet.

So far Raju had only flapped his wings on the nest

The young eagle Raju will turn 2-months old on Sunday, 9th August. At that age juvenile birds make their first fledging attempts.

Raju was successful and from the video below we can see him returning to the nest. First acquaintance with the surroundings lasted a little more than half an hour and Raju couldn't get too far with that time.
