On the 19th we drove to some sites further north and collected our youngest chick from a large over-hanging birch tree, this was a nest we tried to collect from last year, but following a storm both chicks were found dead in the nest. The chicks react differently to your head popping over the edge of the nest depending on their age and personality. The younger/quieter chicks tend to flatten themselves, lying as low as possible in the nest on their bellies, whilst older chicks will stand up as tall as possible holding their wings out to make themselves look big and hissing. We checked another nest on an island that was being used by people for a picnic. The nest was only 10 minutes walk away but everyone had left the eagles to it. Once we got back later that night we went fishing for the chicks, catching pollock, mackerel and cod.
