'FORUM FRIENDS, WILDLIFE-FROM-WHEREVER' (Off-season, all cams off at Loch Garten)

I wondering if the Ringtail Possums are actually living inside the nest,  They were inside it for a long time this afternoon/evening - here's my fuzzy evidence:

It became a very stormy night and the nest cam went down and has stayed down:

Another windy evening in NSW but Daisy carried on as usual - the nest cam went down:

Oh wow, what a night for Daisy! and was that lightning? I full of admiration for this small duck. What a friend she has in the little eagle too ! maybe it's a female
golly, the ring tail possums sure are small. They do look like they are living in the nest - can't damage it musch can they and they chosen a secure home. Thank you Scylla

I think the "little eagle" (which was a white-tailed sea eagle, rather large) was only there to defend the nest vs the Currawong, and if Daisy had been there she'd have skidaddled PDQ

More goings-on in the early morning:

Rainbow Lorikeets later, but no sound because this came from the Twitch cam - some of it does manage to convey their mischievous nature:

Do we know how long incubation is for Daisey? Thanks Scylla

It's 20-something days - they said to expect hatching (if they manage to get to that stage) should be first week in January.

Still on the Sea Eagles' nest - the 3 Ringtail Possums went down to 2 "the day before yesterday" (I can't keep track), then yesterday I saw none at all but - a Brushtail explored.  This is a terrible video and I advise skipping thru it:

G'night for now.

Thanks for info re incubation Scylla

Golly, the nest must   be mostly hollow - which, in a way makes sense  - all that space between sticks being jostled out of place, Interesting.

This part of the video made a stunning capture. For which, many thanks Scylla

The third Ringtail Possum gave itself away by its tail!

What a long tail it has ! Thanks Scylla

Oh woe!  The Ravens are making away with (and destroying?) Daisy's eggs (watched by a Lorikeet).  I have to pack up now, this is a tearful holding snap:
