QT wakes up and walks over down the track to the right and does some beautiful wing stretches in the morning light!
At 3:09 QT does a beautiful skycall and some chattering at a parent (Bluff Track) incoming.
5:09 QT walks closer to see BT parent & watches parent fed its chick 7:19.
9:21 QT is preening her tail feathers
10:22 Henry is first seen! He is on the hunt for his lunch! BT parent watches him, shakes out their wings and rests. At 15:36 Henry catches a skink and eats it! Then he walks to the left and finally QT wakes up and sees him. Thank you for watching!

💪💪💪👍❤️❤️❤️
It's getting harder to tell the chicks from the parents❣️
Their baby fuzz is almost all gone and has flown away for the penguins and others to find, to pad their own nests.
Henry, finally found some lunch! 😋
QT really perked up watching that feeding with great interest. Recording all the movements in her mind. "Oh! So, that's what it looks like!"
TYLH! 😻
Beautiful scraps! 😘
Gotta love that Henry! I’m amazed that he can keep so still for so long, waiting to get a skink! Then his neck seems to make up for lost time, and wriggles-n-shakes all around!
🎶Walk like an Egyptian!🎶
God bless the birds!
God bless our dearly beloved Lady Hawk!

God bless us, every one
ขอบคุณมากค่ะ

Hello Mr Henry the heron. Welcome back🥰
So nice to see Henry visiting! He does the happy dance after getting the skink for lunch! ❤️
Poor Henry came for a cuppa and QT was asleep. What a lovely neighbourhood. 😍
Hey Henry!! Love that guy! QT looks almost completely grown…and didn't we just see her as a small chick not too long ago..how time flies. Ty LH for all the videos!! I still havid covid so this keeps me entertained so much more than most other things. Blessings of good health to all who read this ❤🙏
QT is following in OGK's footsteps with her sky calls! She's great with them! Thank you Lady Hawk for all your hard work bringing us all these videos! I don't comment much anymore but these videos have gotten me through some very rough times this year. Sometimes just the sound effects off all the wildlife just calms me! You are appreciated!💞
HaHaHa! Henry is a funny bird! Does he always do that neck dance, rain or shine? Or, only when he's excited at the thought of dining on skink? I am relieved to see QT back on her nest. I was watching the Live cam earlier when she disappeared from view and was gone for a very long time. I panicked momentarily. What if she walked up the hill and fledged out of our view? That could certainly happen and that would be the worse scenario. Since we have no choice but to "let go" of QT soon I have my fingers (and, toes) crossed that we have that chance to say, "Goodbye. Stay safe. We love you. Be a good girl. Think about all of us. Stay away from BIG ships, nets, and plastic! And, don't take any wooden nickels, QT!", as she takes off to start her life as an adult. Then before she's gone from our sight I'll whisper, "You'll remain in our hearts💕 forever, QT." Thank you, Lady Hawk.😍 Thank you, Rangers and staff. ❤❤
Opatruj se zlatíčko…mám smůlu, při live přenosu nejdou komentáře 😥😥😥
Soon QT leaves, I feel. Henry is nice.
Hey Henry! You always bring a smile to my face, you gorgeous creature 💖
Oh Henry great to see you again dancing❤️❤️✌️
HENRY!!! Welcome back buddy. Did you come back to watch our Babu take flight? It will be fun to watch. 😃
What type of bird is Henry? 💙
Goodness..the noise is deafening. I dont know how QT even blocks thstvout for short snoozes. Definitely alot of activity. Too bad we dont have a bird whisperer to interpret all the conversations.
Henry is one strange bird!
I am always amazed when I see these huge wings of QT when I remember the tiny limbs she had as a baby 😲. Incredible !. Funny Henry with his balancing neck, only interested in hunting 😄. Skinks ! A new word for me 👍 thank you 🥰🥰
Oh those beautiful skycalls from our beloved Princess! And it was great to see Henry again! If only I could dance like that. Wait…who am I kidding?! If only I could dance…PERIOD!🤪 Thank you for the video Lady Hawk…and best wishes to everyone for an awesome weekend!😊
What kind of bird is Henry? Thanks
QT has become a beautiful albatross. I can see the eagerness and curiosity growing to be out in the world. So good to see you, handsome Henry!! Thank you, Lady Hawk!
Hey Henry !! Been missing you & so glad you’re back & ok 🥰🥰
❤️ I just love Henry! 😺😁
I miss her I was so sad about dad I could not watch no more but then Henry came back and I started watching again I love qt and mommy and daddy 💗 I'm sorry I felt so sad 😢 I really miss dad I have no family no more just my beautiful gorgeous dogs they love me forgive me qt I love you ..
Watching this video keeps me alive and happy
Henry, where have you been? Always a treat. He wanted to make sure he had a chance to say goodbye to QT before she leaves.
Henry look's skinny . I wonder where he has been? Hi Henry Hi …… 👀👀☺
Haha so cute how QT wanders around exploring! She’s a very curious albie 🥰🥰🥰. And yes! So awesome to see Henry again !! 😄🥳🥰
"Hello Henry! Nice to see you again!" Now that QT is almost full grown, he looks to be smaller than I thought before. Research online shows he is a White-faced Heron as far as I can tell. Is that correct Lady Hawk? Good he got a meal! QT is looking lovely today! 🥰TY Lady Hawk
Ah, this was so peaceful to watch, dear Lady Hawk! Thank you for this video of QT and her sweet, dancing friend. You will laugh (I hope) when you see the pose at the end on my post this morning, as I was looking back at "moments" in another video and was struck by the beauty and wonder of QT standing on the hill with her big wings so close to being strong enough to hold up in the near future when she is ready to fledge and they will be open nearly all of the time, obeying her every command! I did not realize earlier that it was the same moment that you had chosen for a magnificent end shot for this video. I love that QT is so inspired from morning till night and sometimes during her nights, to wingercise and dream of riding on the wind like her mama and dad have done! ✨💗✨
I just love Henry
Oh, May be Henry came back to wish QT good bye!
Someone mentioned Henry the other day & pop here he is😊 good ole uncle Henry probably thought QT is almost ready to go & wanted to say goodbye. Sweet Henry I hope we see him again soon💕😎💕
I'm so happy Henry stopped by to give us a snake neck dance performance before the season was over. I'd forgotten how small he is compared to QT. It looks like he's more interested in finding food rather than finding a girlfriend this season! 😀
Henry looked big next to Qutie, now he seems tiny, what a fellow..haha…love his snake dance moves…he`s always in the groove..
