The feeding itself:


So at least one Negev juvenile is doing fine:


The youngster in close-up:

The ring number is H30:


Good bye!

20 September

07:06 The chick in a loose dress:


07:14 The day was blustery and the chick responded to several gusts like this:


07:48 And with jumping:

[Marbzy]

08:38 2E5 was there for a chat:


10:30 And Mom went through the nest...:


10:30 ... without feeding the chick:

[Marbzy]

10:44 This little relationship...:


10:44 ... grew a little aggrieved at one stage:


10:44 The chick seemed to have the upper wing:

[Marbzy]

11:40 The chick's developed a third leg:


12:33 An untagged griffon practises flying...:


12:33 ... becomes grounded...:

[Marbzy]

12:33 ... and sprints back to where (s)he got catapulted from:


12:34 J80 runs into cam view...:


12:34 ... and out again:

[Marbzy]

13:10 Mom comes through the nest:


15:05 She's back...:


15:05 ... with water:

[Marbzy]

15:27 Now she's fetched another bone fragment (looks like a vertebra):


15:28 She's left the bone on the nest floor:


15:29 Three Egyptians at the restaurant:

[Marbzy]

15:29 The nestling has grabbed the bone in his/her beak and started jumping:


15:30 (S)he seems to be having lots of fun with that bone:


15:41 Mom goes upstairs - but there is no engine noise:

[Marbzy]

16:12 Mom goes across the nest:


16:23 Now Dad has jumped into the nest (he'll get out in a moment):


17:15 And here's Mom one more time - still no food:

[Marbzy]

18:00 Here's a tired body:


18:12 Mom has decided to take matters in her own claws:


18:14 She crosses over to the station:

[Marbzy]

18:16 All the tables are laid just for her:


18:17 A leg of lamb for ludicrously late lunch?


18:17 Another griffon comes flying in...:

[Marbzy]

18:17 ... and goes running out (deja vu anyone?):


18:22 There isn't much to choose from, unfortunately:


18:25 Mom jogs back to the nest box:

[Marbzy]

18:26 A feeding, perhaps?


18:26 No:


18:26 Two new guests at the station:

[Marbzy]

18:27 They even manage a fight!


18:29 T82 is the last to leave at the end of this very lean day:


18:47 Mom goes through the nest two more times (18:33 and 18:47):

[Marbzy]

18:58 Dad's vigilant as ever:


20:46 The chick tends to get a lot of sleep when a foodless day comes to a close:


21:25 Good night!


The chick is 120 days old tonight.
