A63/Limuw is ready to mantle as he hits the nest before dad. Having mantled well, he begins eating the bird his father, K10, brought to the nest. Dad sits above, on a branch, and watches.
All 5 parts are unedited aside from a 75-second or so freeze in Part 5. Because the viewers were treated to the unexpected Institute for Wildlife Studies zoom ins at the tent, I didn't edit this interesting feeding session or departures that followed in Part 5. We do not often have a chance to view an eaglet feeding at the close ranges seen in Parts 2 & 3.

Super Video! Limuw is so confident now .. Beautiful fly-in .. and then the grab .. from Dad ..and the mantle. Love how Dad gets out of the way .. but still stays to make sure Limuw copes OK.
