Some aggression on #3 - unsure why
#2 feeds - #3 remains in submission pose
feed over - 35 cleans up
When I "arrivd" s while ago B35 was feeding #2 watchedby #1 from a little distance #3 was asleep, using some sticks at the back as a pillow. #2 finished eating and went over to where the little one was ans suddenly there was an altercation, actually syatyed by #3 #2 gave him/her a good bash and it went into submission Then #2 started trying to move some of the sticks I think when #2 first went over to #3s place #3 must have thought it was going to be attacked and got in first because #2 was really fidgetty and every time they brushed against#3 he would go into submission even though he/she was raising their head I actually think it has gone to sleep like in that position now

Few minutes ago YW arrived and grabbed the fish. He ate a few bit then 35 took it. #3 turned round and 35 walked nearer and #3 is getting more fish
#3 turns away and 35 struggles with the skin
35 continues to feed
soon full and turns away and #3 turns around and has some more
#3 is getting a few bits here!
There has been a fish delivery
#3 at the back
#3 moves up, YW flies off and older chick turns away
#3 in line and getting fed
#3 getting lots of fish
checking on the nest and #3 is being fed again just now :-)
Feed disturbed with 35 mantling
now lying flat
Threat seems to have passed and 35 tidies up
I think B35 had just finished a feed and no, 3 was on the far side of the nest away from mum when it seemed to notice that there was more fish left It called out to B35 and then waddled over to her and was having quire a good feed which came to an abrupt end when mum spotted some kind of intruder At first she alarm called and mantled but suddenly flattened herself down and litt;e'un followed suit She stayed down for some time and even when she stood she was still wary #3 stayed down and B35 cleaned her beak ~3's feast was over
YW arrivedfor a fewminutes before the intuder incident
It was a case of 3 sleepy heads until feathers started itching
