So This summer had allot of highlights I had two wedge tail eagle nests, one that raised two chicks and the other just a single chick. I had found a goshawk nest which raised two chicks but sadly were eaten before fledging by a cat. I also had a pair of Gang gangs nest in a small gumtree but the male bird was also killed by a cat whilst sitting on the nest. 

My goshawk parents have not been seen since their chicks were killed. I hope they nest in the same tree next year, does anybody know if this is likely after such a let a down ?.  

Attached are two Photos and two links, the links are for photo of the eaglets. 

The gang gang shot was taken two days before the male was killed. 

The last is of My goshawk female on her nest.  

This link is of Blinky and Jill my eaglet siblings, Blinky is the very curious one eyeing my off and jill was going to be Bill but decided to be a girl instead lol.

This link is of the lone eaglet Brain with his dad coming into land and a Frier bird in chase as well, if you look hard you can also see kangaroo legs in the nest.
