This morning out at the nesting tree there was lots happening.
From what I could see, one of the LLH nest young was out on the end of the limb while the other one was being fed. Then suddenly at 7:09 the parent 'chased' the older juv out of the tree. It flew to the far side of the swamp, foraged a bit then returned to the tree - or at least tried to - but the adult wouldn't let him land so he tried the back of the tree but the second adult who had been quite content to just sit, had a go at him as well and he flew on to the pelican log on the right of the tree.
While all this was happening, what appeared to be one of the young from the RH nest came across to the left and begged for food from the adult feeding in the LLH nest. He didn't get fed.
Does this mean that this chick has now fledged and wont be able to return to the nesting tree? I couldn't stay around any longer but will go back later this afternoon and see what they are up to.
Cheers
Lindell
