The egg often still rolls around there. I secretly wish that one of the parents would "accidentally" step on it and break it :?
Or it could find its place somewhere on the edge.

So far #3 is doing quite well. True- it can't consume such large food items as its siblings could three days ago, but the little one is definitely not hungry and is doing well.

14.54 to 18.06 The stream is interrupted.
Karl is already in the nest when the stream resumes.

18.16 Karl makes several regurgitating attempts for feeding, but nothing comers out.

19.03 FEEDING (6)? Karl regurgitates a pile of small fish, but only #1 and #2 eat. Little #3 is behind them and can't reach food. I hope this is not the last dinner today..

22.28 Night vision is on. Kaia hasn't fed the chicks yet since her arrival. #3 ate already quite a few hours ago- I think some time during the stream interruption. Only the older ones ate during the last feeding by Karl.
