16:57 Maya has flown for a comfort break
33 returns with the fish followed by Maya who grabs the fish on the nest
Maya starts to feed - both bobs got their heads up
just hope Maya can get some food into it now
The little chick is up and down but is getting fish!

Yes a huge relief to see the little chick up and being fed. Fingers crossed it goes from strength to strength.
The feed was 8 minutes and here is a recording of it - best 8 minutes I've seen today!!!

It was really heart warming to watch. But after feeding Maya laid her head down again.
