17:15 The chick's mandibles are apart to handle the temperature (close to 35 degrees Celsius officially, but with no access to shade for several hours it must feel way hotter out there)
And that's the last I got to see of the chick at daytime.
23:21 Good night
Polly. Griffons are certainly sociable (YT videos taken at the Hai-Bar Carmel feeding station in northern Israel are a great illustration), but other members of this colony are not really on friendly terms with the chick - otherwise the parents (as long as they are near enough to see what's happening on the ledge) would not see it necessary to chase away visitors. Of course, I'm not always lucky enough to observe parental interventions and hardly ever able to document them, but there have been at least a few in the past week. I guess it's too early to talk about acceptance.
