V4 at her Symonston Winter hunting grounds. Time is out by 1 hour due to not having changed the camera back to non daylight savings time and i don't seem to be able to edit it?

Thanks Rawshorty - sad news that the female chick hatched by V4 this year - died in western Queensland about a month ago - her body has been recovered.

That is sad news. Do you know how she died.

She was caught in that big downpour that went on for two weeks that may have made her weak and possibly killed her. The CSIRO person who collected the tracker for us thought that the remains (a leg with a band, a skull a few feathers and the tracker) were arranged in a way that Wedge Tail Eagle food remains look - but we can not know whether the eagle preyed or scavenged the LE or that a WTE actually did eat the bird or its remains
