Good morning (6:54):
Dad and kid get up:
The sun's out; Dad, the chick and the plastic bag are all in:

There's little food on offer today for the little one, but plenty of shade:
Where is she?

Dad's into his 26th hour on the nest:
The chick is asking for food:
The chick lets out a yawn:

And now
el pollo turns towards Dad and starts pulling at his wing:
Mom's arrival (19:02) catches Dad napping - he reacts just two seconds before her landing:
Let's hope he can find some food for himself tonight:

How are you, my little one?
Mom regurgitates a sizeable meatball onto the nest floor and serves dinner:

Feeding, part 2:
Dad interrupts the feeding at 19:06, bringing a fresh pine branch. Nobody's really paying attention to him, so he takes off half a minute later.
Feeding, part 3:
Tired but watchful:

Mom grabs a stick and places it right in front of the chick:
The chick uses the same stick to support his/her head (a coincidence?
)
The camera switches off tonight at 21:26:
Good night!

Today's live stream starts with everybody still lying down comfortably:
The chick asks Mom about the morning news:
Mom with her cutie:

Maybe we could have breakfast now?
Mom leaves the nest at 10:52:
And she returns two minutes later:

Dad does his best to feed the chick...:
... but his best is very limited today:
The chick has discovered why vultures have necks:

The feeding - if there was any - is over:
The nest has to be defended again:
And it's another close encounter:

While Dad spreads his umbrella over the chick, the visitor spends three minutes on the branch (and then leaves without causing any more trouble):
Another minor disturbance:
But where's the food?

The chick keeps asking questions of Dad:
Dad tries to answer, but he has very, very little to give:
As another day draws to a close...:

... Dad gets up one more time:
He makes another attempt to feed the chick:
And here's how the camera saw them for the last time today:
Let's hope Mom's foraging trip is a success.

The day begins at 6:52:
(Late) morning exercises by Dad:
The chick reminds Dad about breakfast:

But there are no free lunches, Dad seems to be saying:
The chick can count on Dad when it comes to protection from sunlight:
Or when a potential visitor must be told (s)he is not welcome:

Mom comes home at 15:30:
Dad's ready for take-off:
Will Mom be able to feed the little one?

Affirmative. She produces a massive chunk onto the nest floor:
Next, she moves the meal a little to the right:
A long feeding followed with Mom obstructing the view completely.
Half an hour later, the chick wants more:

The chick scrambles a little towards Mom, who provides a second course:
This is another 10-minute feeding:
The little beastie has quite an appetite:
