Thanks Mike for the reassurance, I hope it manages to get fed later on then.

3 chicks are being fed, I think including No 4 but it it’s difficult to tell in this light. The other one is moving....
It is up
Morning All - thanks for earlier captures and nice to see a sunrise for it is chucking it down here. About the little chick, #4 does not appear to get fed at the first feed. The others, being so much bigger, get in first and I think #4 has just learned to wait and by doing so it is avoiding trouble for the older chick has shown aggression towards it siblings. Maya also feeds #4 some bits when cleaning up. If the past 11 days are anything to go by, #4 will get fed next and later feeds and it gets plenty. All survival tactics and so far #4 is doing great :-)
33 returns with the fish and Maya starts eating. 33 flies off. The older chicks are not hungry having been filled at first feed.
#3 is getting some and now #4 has now got itself up and gets some fish
#4 has turned away leaving #3 to eat but only for a minute for now #3 retreats and Maya now feeds #4
07:40 #4 continues to be fed and is getting plenty :-)
