And then, just discovered that the Open Day of this year just was cancelled!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Palawan peacock-chicks hatched earlier this year and are parent-raised

One of the Steller's sea-eagles building a nest ( fingers crossed ) :

There has construction being going on in recent years (the new home of the owner), and therefor open data were cancelled. Now construction it is almost done. But if there will be an open day again in 2020 is not clear yet. They have been anouncing the construction of a new hall for their birds of Paradise (they acquiered most of the Al Wabra collection), maybe that could delay the open day.
For the first time at Wisbroek a Verreaux's eagle has hatched. Because the parents didn't take proper care for the chick, this is now being hand-raised.
Other birds of prey which bred sucesfull sofar this year :
Bald eagle
Steller's sea-eagle
