Scylla I agree, I tried to enlarge a screen shot of the eggs but because of pixilation there was nothing to be seen.
I think its a case of waiting to see a crack or the chick itself poking out of the shell

09.34, Louis arrives without a fish. At 09.36 he finds a bit on the nest (this mornings?) and grabs it but Aila takes it back from him. Feeding starts so Louis legs it. Ian
EDIT - at 09.37.28, Aila turns her head to Louis as if she is offering him a morsel, he declines!
10.17, Aila has a stretch and leaves the nest. 10.19, one of them flies past twice, I assume it is Louis as he arrives at 10.20. Before he gets the chance to incubate, Aila returns at 10.23 so he leaves. He took the (by now well cooked) fish remnants with him. Ian
Grabbed this before Louis flew off. I don't think there's any fish on the nest

14.55, Louis brings in a very nice whole fish. Aila is between the camera & chick so I'm not sure how much if any the bob gets before Aila drops the fish and Louis takes it away at 15.00. Ian
To illustrate Ian's on the spot observation
15.15, Louis brings the fish back, bob being fed by Aila with Louis in attendance. Once the feed is over, Louis takes the fish away at 15.21. Ian
