Eaglet report

At 3 weeks old, the eaglets are growing so rapidly you can see them changing from one day to the next.  Their darker secondary down growth has come in, and they are at the stage where they look like they are wearing barrister wigs.  Their beaks and feet grow at a disproportionate rate that makes them look downright comical, waddling around on their huge clown feet.


I've thought for the last couple of days that maybe I ought to stop watching them.  They keep getting way too close to the edge, and I have more to worry about than eaglets falling out of their nest.
