33 has returned with the fish and has some at the side of the nest. Maya is also finishing off the other fish.
Chicks don't approach Maya or 33, so they can't be hungry, and 33 flies off again with the fish.
Hi Patily
33 has returned with the fish. Maya took it and started to feed one of the older chicks. Soon they all lined up with #4 in front.
The older chick behind attacked #4. Mayhem then breaks out and I think it is the other older chick who attacks the older chick that has been aggressive to #4 and then it goes on to attack #3.
Chicks are lying down now with Maya offering the odd bit to one older chick

33 returned with the fish and left it. After a bit Maya picks it up and an older and #4 get up
#4 gets a piece
Maya continues to feed, the older chick getting most but #4 is getting fish too
33 lands with a stick and plonks it on the chicks
Maya flies off leaving 33 to place his stick and returns with some hay
Now Maya and 33 doing some nest work while the chicks keep their heads down!
