The dang spider distracts me all the time, but this morning he turned up and turned in (presumably) in Technicolor!

Snap Mike and Morning to you. Isn't this wonderful to watch how 33 is stepping in to help. After which he stops eating and fiddles with a stick. Now 33 has flown. Maya now starting to clean up and soon settles on the chicks.
Hi Karen.He certainly seems to be providing well and helping out!
33 approaching with another fish
Maya moves over to take it - there are now 3 fish on the nest!
33 flies off with one of the other fish lying
Quickly changes his mind and returns to the nest and moving sticks.
Maya is eating (head?) of the fresh fish 33 has just brought.
33 has now flown and Maya starts to feed the chicks.
Nice to see #3 & # 4 are the front of this feed and have had lots of fish.
Maya has walked round and picked up and other fish and feeding again from a different angle
The older chicks now getting a fair bit but we see #4 here getting a piece too.
So between this and the earlier feed, all the chicks are being well fed. Must go now .... SYAL
