33 had earlier flown off with a fish and has now come back with it.
He holds on to it while Maya starts feeding the chicks from the one she fed previously
33 has now flown leaving the fish and Maya continues to feed the chicks

33 approaches with the fish
Maya makes a move for it
And starts eating also offering more fish to the chicks
they are full and lying down but still Maya offers and they manage a few bits :-D
Morning ALL - now Day 13 since the first chicks hatched
Maya feeding the chicks just now
Missed delivery but I see another huge fish on the nest and 33 eating from an older one. Chicks around his feet looking for some :-)
33 now moves round to the fresh fish and the chicks follow
and of course dad gives them some :-)
33 is getting good at this - his chicks adore him
Maya had taken a comfort break leaving 33 to the feeding. Oh Maya is loving this :-)
33 wipes his beak - feed over - then he flies off
Off now - BBL
