11:04 Just a guess again, but T90's snow-white head suggests young age to me
Image

11:05 The chick gets up - the head is down, but the intruders don't seem that threatening anymore
Image

11:09 And then they leave, first T90, then 53 (pictured)

11:47 Another guest - the chick's reaction is clear enough
Image

11:48 Would you mind staying away from me, you T38?
Image

11:48 T38 cannot really come near the chick because Dad has stepped in (it all happened too quickly, I'm afraid)

11:48 Following his determined defence of the chick and of the nest, Dad decides to extend his stay at home
Image

11:51 Another tourist approaches the nest - Dad rushes towards his landing spot
Image

12:01 In the wake of his heroics, Dad remains to the right of the nest (excuse the language: "wake", "remains", ... been here too long?)

12:36 No, this is not Mum anymore - the chick's got another visitor
Image

12:39 The visit takes just over three minutes and is relatively peaceful (I can't recall any violence or aggression from the apparently untagged guest)
Image

12:42 Stretching

14:44 There are jumps and attempts to stay up in the air for a moment, there is lots of vigorous and rhythmic flapping on the wings - it's amazing to observe how the chick is developing more and fluency and coordination with respect to these moves
Image

15:14 The chick tries to atract the attention of a food truck, but no parent (or any other griffon) comes home
Image

15:54 It's a bit hot again (daytime temperatures are up to the low 30s)
