Wedge-tailed Eagle Nest Relocation
It began by picking a suitable tree for nest to be relocated too; within the area they had been observed but outside the clearing boundary(317m away from exisiting site), next secured existing nest to union and branches it was situated on and slowly began chopping back the extremities, next I had the franna then put some tension on while cutting the nest free, the franna then transported the nest to new nest site(guide ropes used to stop nest swinging and swaying around, the nest then lowered into the new nest site, once down and wedged we added some wire(same type as nest box) to help secure the nest to its new location, I then unhooked the franna and let it rest in the location and finallyI’ve add some jute webbing around the two exposed side to assist the nest settling into its final position.
The wedgie pair was spotted at the tree 6 days after the relocation and have been observed in the area frequently.
