The female returns to the nest a few minutes past 8 pm:

Dad's quick to leave:

The last second of the day before the camera goes to sleep:

The female is where we left her last night:
Mom's a bit sleepy, perhaps?
But the chick's demands must be attended to promptly:

It's a nice little feeding for the 8-day-old chick:
Then it's back to bed for both:
It's getting on for noon and Mom has good reason to shield the chick from sunlight:

This pose brings to mind the current struggles of the Israeli griffon chick:

The male keeps monitoring the airspace:

Dad the protector:
Mom's close enough - the male takes leave:
Half a minute later the female lands on the nest:

And here's the final moment of the day:
Good night to la hembra and el pollo.

It's finally becoming possible to identify the chick's features:

Mom reacts to her own stepping on the chick:
She leaves in stages - first she leaps onto a branch (pictured) and then, over a minute later, takes off for good:
Dad's time on the nest is free from incident:

They finally kiss goodbye at 16:35:
And it's the female who stays with the chick (but Dad hasn't gone far - he'll perch on one of the branches to the left of the nest):
Dad informs us of his current location (the five feather tips inthe top left corner):
