23:47 According to BirdLife Israel, the chick's parents spend the nights on the cliff opposite the nest, so they are still keeping watch over the little griffon

13:48 The chick has put on quite a show, but all to no avail
Image

14:10 At least it looks as though there is some cloud cover, which could make the afternoon more bearable
