Kaia goes to stand a little further from the chicks.

06.37 Kaia makes a PS. It's actually good. So I'd say she's not in a bad condition herself :roll:

07.47 KARL arrives. Kaia gives a short greeting and leaves.
Kaia's nest duty was 2 h 29 min.
Image

07.48 FEEDING (3) Lampreys from Karl. #3 fights hard for his fish and gets a lot of food this time. I think it's #1 who only gets one fish this time because he is in the middle and can't reach so well.
