Good morning everyone.
Chick #1 just became a "branch-hopper"

[Timea]

8.46
Branch-hopper jumped back onto the nest.

[Timea]

9.28
Won't be long before the next chick will jump a branch, a lot of jumping and wing-flapping in the nest.

[Timea]

9.34
Male drops a prey.
No surprise, 1 of the 2 older ones has it.

[Timea]

9.45
Chick # 3 grabs the prey his sibling has more or less left behind. Sibling clearly let the youngest have it, and youngest feels strong because of it

[Timea]

11.17
Female lands on the nest. She carried a prey and starts feeding.

[Timea]

11.32
Must have been a large prey, 2 chick draw back from it, large swollen crops and had more than enough.
3rd chick also has enough. Mom swallows something large.
Last chick is back for some more bites.

[Timea]

11.53
The only one who has not had enough is Mom, who is now eating.
Chicks are all satisfied.
And prey is not finished by far, wondering what it has been....

[Timea]

11.41
Female Goshawk with the rest of the prey, now finishing it herself.
All 3 chicks had multiple helpings and are really full.

[Timea]

12.19
Prey was dropped, Chick # 2 stood at the right place and has it.

[Timea]

13.21
2 older chicks interested in conquering the family branch?

[Timea]

16.09

Chick became wild, jumping and flapping from 1 side of the nest to the other side and back again, was even panting afterward.
They scream ( of sheer joy?) loudly when they do this.

[Timea]

18.02
Female at the nest. It seems like she brought a prey. If she did, chick # 3 grabbed it.
(Will check later.)
Meanwhile female has left so no intentions to feed them anyway.
(Checked. Female visited, but do not see any one of the chicks with a prey!)

[Timea]

18.52
A bit strange: saw this chick almost every time I watched, standing with its eyes closed.....

[Timea]

18.59
What do they see up there?

[Timea]

19.24
Male dropped a prey. The 2 older siblings "fight" over it. It's a large prey, so, many things can happen before that is finished.

[Timea]

19.36
Prey taken over (without a real fight) by the other older sibling.

[Timea]

19.51
And yet, by the movements chick # 3 makes, it is obvious he is eating too. Must have been a prey after all, earlier.
It is a bit complicated, older sibling finished and chick # 3 grabs the rest of the last prey, makes this special sound to warn the others off and starts eating. (maybe # 3 ate off a leftover?)
Sometimes it is just impossible to see all that happens

[Timea]

19.57
Yes, I see it now, chick # 3 is eating from the last prey and has a few bones in front of him as well. Must have been eating from those earlier.
Older sibling tries to get back the last prey, chick # 3 does not give in.

[Timea]

19.27
Wonderful jumps.....
