06.38 FEEDING(1) Kerli regurgitates a tiny piece of food. 1 and 2 eat the most of it, 3 gets only a little.
08.02 Kergu arrived with a little piece of moss. Kerli flew away.
08.03 FEEDING(2) Kergu regurgitates a pile of fish. There are smaller and one larger fish. All 3 eat, they were already hungry a long time ago
Kergu covers the chicks.

09.10 FEEDING (3) Kergu regurgitates that one larger fish but it's quite far away, chicks can't reach it very well. Chick no.3 eats a lot of the soft meat, no.2 also takes some food. 1 is not very interested in food this time, only pecks some small bites.
Chicks fall asleep and after some cleaning and aerating Kergu covers them.
After some resting and regular nest duties it's time to feed again.
10.24 FEEDING(4) A piece of soft food. All 3 eat, but No.1 gets the most.
Also no.3 is already very good at swallowing larger pieces of food and almost always gets to the front row. He/she is thriving very well!
Kergu is also very patient every time his chicks eat and he always waits until everyone has had their share before finishing meal time

11.02 A stork lands on the nearby tree branch! But Kergu is not alarmed and he doesn't react in any way.
11.04 It's Kerli They exchange a nice greeting and Kergu flies away.
Chicks greet their mother and fall asleep. Kerli doesn't feed them right away.
11.24 FEEDING(5) A nice pile of small fish. All 3 get a good meal!
Chicks are satisfied and instantly fall asleep.
Kerli covers them for a short time, but chicks spend most of the warm daytime napping in open air.

12.55 FEEDING(6) All 3 eat. Possibly there is also a frog in the mix of small fish.
Kerli is also the kind of parent who patiently waits for her chicks to feed first until she "clears the table"
Getting tight in there
A nice stretch while the little ones are sleeping

15.15 Chicks are begging for food.
Kerli gets in the feeding position, but doesn't give any food this time.
Chicks go back to sleep.
15.39 Kergu is back! Short greetings and Kerli flies away.
15.44 Kergu tries several times to regurgitate food, without success.
15.46 FEEDING(7) Finally a larger fish drops out among with some smaller fish. 15.47 A second, smaller pile of frogs was regurgitated. All 3 eat.
Is that a very long frog leg, or what is that?

About the 4th egg: I don't think it's going to hatch. There has been no egg talk or no rolling what so ever.. 
16.53 A blissful afternoon. Chicks are not covered by their parents at all, they would probably overheat.
17.23 Chicks were chirping but as Kergu regurgitates food, they are in no hurry to eat. They must still be enough full from the last feeding time. They nibble a few bites, but overall they were not intereseted in food this time. A minute later, Kergu eats it back.
17.31 Kergu tries again. FEEDING(8) Now they eat
but sloooowly.
18.11 So sweetly cuddled together
But not for long, because chicks are already back at the table.
18.13 FEEDING(9) Only a tiny piece of food. No3 eats the most.
Kergu covers the chicks. Notice that the 4th egg is not covered at all.

20.03 Kerli arrives for the night shift. Kergu flies away.
Chicks start twittering and begging.
20.05 FEEDING(11) Kerli regurgitates 3 very nice piles of small fish! That is a very good amount of food! All 3 eat vigorously.
