FISH @ 13:23
Maya had arrived and was calling. 33 then appeared with a fish closely followed by 057
Maya took the fish from 33 but soon snatched by 057
Maya then flew off leaving 057 to enjoy her fish

Pure bliss for 057, an uninterrupted feed and once finished she takes off.
Maya then arrives,
grabs what is left and flies off.
and then Maya returns followed by 057 who once more snatches the fish
Maya then flies off leaving her and she gets tucked in again
054 arrived and 057 took off with the fish piece! 054 has flown and once more ENS
Out now for a bit ...... SYL
Someone is on the nest, calling for fish!
and flown. Someone flew below the nest to the left. Same chick?

Lots of coming and goings, and I have no idea who! At one point there were two.
One looked very anxiously for parent and fish
where are they?
another landed, and the orignal flew off
a flyabout resulted in a chick landing, but who? The first one or the second one, or a n other!
15.20 someone landed or took off from the campost - boying!
15.24 ENS
Thank you, ALISON, I just found your kind heads-up while on my way to editing this morning's debacle, the original post is now there.
SHEILA, that returner looks like 056 with the poorly throat?

Here it is, Jane
Update
Thanks Jane and Sandra for the FB update, also Sheila for earlier updates.
I noticed this morning that there was no fresh blood which was a relief to see however I still think he is having difficulty swallowing so nowhere near recovered but going in the right direction.
