CCK Park 1Jul12

From Danny

On 1st July late afternoon, checked out the WBSE, found the more active juvenile perched over at the long-girders tower in the camp. When one of the adult flew in with fish, the 2nd juvenile responded to the calls and flew in from the nesting tree. Expect fully fledged by August.

Finally get to see clearly the CHE family. Juvenile is a pale morph and parent, one pale and one dark morph. One of the adults(pale morph) flew in with clear ringing calls and prey. The juvenile hawk responded with string of shrill calls but refused to leave it comfort zone as both adults flew away and perched at edges of the wooded area. Probably another month before fully fledged. This is unlike the juvenile at Mt Faber which has fully fledged and left the comfort zone around the Danish seaman church.

Earlier on 17 Jun, Danny reported:

The twin WBSE chicks are doing well taking short flights and will likely fully fledged by end of the month. First record for CCK park, a juvenile CHE has fledged but remain within the neighourhood. Similarly another juvenile CHE at Mount Faber has fledged but remains within vicinity of the adult.
