De Mortel: wings and more wings
Our beloved 4 eyases, better juvies are growing very fast to the point of leaving the nestbox. The eldest one, the male is standing in the opening looking into destiny, longing to go. But his body is not ready yet to carry him through the sky. S2 watches the growth and is stepping aside more and more. The parents now bring prey to the nest en leaving it there for the juvies to eat alone. The one manages it better than the other.
The eldest female, second in birth is huge. She was 955 grams at banding day, but she has grown more since than. Her mother our beautiful S2 is very huge as well.
It's an exciting time now, waiting for the step on the ledge of the male. It cannot be far away.
