15:54 B33 to the nest with a tail-end part of a fish. Flown at 15:56. Maya settled back down brooding the bobs
17:00 Sleepy Maya and a bob
There may have been another feeding as the piece of fish is under Maya now
17:10 B33 to the nest, he lay down beside Maya but she rose from the chicks/eggs. He saw the fish piece and flew off with it just as Maya was going to take it back from him
B33 lying down behind Maya

I was about to post a live snap but it's "just" Maya panting against a grey background, already posted at an earlier time.
