Black Eagle Cam

Africam has their new Black Eagle cam up and running. I have checked it frequently but today is the first time I have seen live streaming, it may be due to the time difference.

Once we have the HTML code for the cam we will embed it onto the forum, in the mean time, here is the link.

You can post all your Black Eagle pictures here.

Just checked this cam - great to see, i think i could see 2 eggs, mum was re-arranging and then sat down

This will be a lovely cam to follow. Thanks for posting the link Littlewid.

Glad you liked it Lai, once we have the HTML code SM will embed it on to the forum so all we have to do is click the picture to get straight to the cam instead of linking into another site.

Thanks Littlewid

Not much to see at the moment but she is sitting on the eggs

Breaking News

Theres a chick I've just seen it on Cam it's mostly hidden by the tree trunk but its there. The Mother just came in with a Kill, then tidyed up the nest and you could just see the chicks head poking out from behind the tree. There not very clear shots. This is them now look between the Mothers legs,on the first one, I've marked it with a yellow arrow, and you can just see the chicks head




WS

Well spotted WS - i need to put my glasses on when i look in - i hadn't realised one had hatched, she must have been sitting on it not an egg/eggs

Definitely need to check in more often and see how many there are - how exciting.

Thanks for posting WS

Lai

Nice spot WS, it's so lovely to have a chick, wonder how many more there may be? I looked in again last night but the cam was just black, i'm sure the mornings and early afternoon are best to view this one.
That's really exciting news though.

Moms just keeping the Kids ? warm today

WS

Great shot WS - i can't wait for her to move so we can see them

Lai

Taken just now - all quiet



Lai

Last time I looked at this it was not working.

Thanks for the pics everybody I can now get up to speed on progress.

SM

Thanks Lai, she doesnt move around alot does she our Eagle mum, she's nearly always in the same position bless her.

SM this cam is streaming on South African daylight hours only, so morning and afternoons are best to view her.

Your right LW she does'nt seem to move much, even the chick was flat out just. I thought it was a still shot untill the little one gave a small flap of its wing

WS

Mmmmmmmm Mum must be very attentive which is good to see, the chick looks totally wiped out

Thanks for the update WS

Lai

Thats a lovely pic though WS, every time I look she is almost hiding behind the rock and i've never gotten to see the chick, so its brilliant you captured her, even if she is very sleepy.
Thanks WS

A week later, and here's a better view of the Black Eagles White Chick Its certainly grown in a week




WS

Wow - that chick has grown a lot - great shot WS

Lai

Thats brilliant WS, everytime I look in I just see the mum peeping from round the rocks, your getting good at capturing the chick, he really has grown, he's gorgeous.

The Black Eagle chick has grown in the last 8 Days




WS

Oh My Goodness WS, he looks well plump, it's so lovley to see, his mum is doing an amazing job with him. I havent been able to check him out just lately.....mind you, he never shows himself when i'm looking in, he always seems to wait for you so it's good to see him and I must try and check him out a bit more before he grows and flys off.

Dont worry LW, I'll keep my Eagle Eye on it , and send you the pics
WS

Mum was away this morning. You can just see the primary feathers coming through I think


WS

I am so glad you remember this cam WS - it's a wonderful one to follow.

Thanks for updating us.

Lai

You get all the good ones on this cam WS and i'm glad you do, cos every time I look I just get the mum peeking out from behind the rock. Thats a lovely picture.
