17:51:10 Kaia tries to see if the chicks follow her beak.
#1, #2 and #3 follow her beak like magnetically attracted. They overtake #4.
17:51:40 #3 lets itself be pushed away by the older ones.
17:52 feeding - Kaia brought dark smaller food. I could not recognise it.
The big chicks in front.
#4 still looks in the wrong direction and does not move.
And #3 probably doesn't know what just happened.
#1, #2 and #3 are eating. #4 got nothing.

18:32 #4 asks for food.
18:36 feeding
Kaia tried another spot in the nest. Unfortunately, the moss is in the picture.
#1, #2 ate something. Maybe #3 could get something too. I don't think anything slipped into the nest trough for #4.
Kaia took some things back.

The older chicks want to swallow big fish. But it did not work.
This fish size worked.
This fish size is to big.
#3 wanted to climb out of the nest trough.
I think #4 got a bite of food.

Ornitrack Information
KAIA
Kaia spent the night near a little lake in the forest, at about 3.5 km from the nest.
At 04:33, she is in flight (45 km/h) towards fish basket 3 (the new one, in the almost dry river in a forest, at about 4.4 km from the nest).
She remains in that area until 06:13
At 06:18, she is in flight towards the nest (49 km/h)
At 06:22, Kaia comes home.
At 12:21, Kaia flies out.
At 12:23, she is in flight (55 km/h) towards the watercourse where fish basket 1 is (or used to be). I don't think the basket was filled.
Kaia remains in that wider area, looking for food in several ditches in a commercial forestry area, until 16:28
At 16:33, she flies towards the nest (46 km/h)
At 16:43, she is almost home (93 km/h)
At 16:45, Kaia comes home.
At 19:41, Kaia flies out.
At 19:43 (last known data point), she is in flight near the nest (37 km/h)
Today Kaia flew 43.9 km.
Battery level: 100 %

The bulging sticking out of #1 and 2's necks after every meal is quite astonishing too.

Good morning!
04:38 feeding
Karl II gives some food. It looks like fish bullet.
The larger chicks eat very well.
They spread their wings when they eat.
#4 is at least pushing forward into the front row. But it got nothing.
Many thanks for the track data @Anne7

#3 might have gotten a bite too.
But it has to stretch a lot to get something.
05:21 Kaia is back.
They greet each other quietly. Karl II flies away.
05:29 She covers the chicks.

06:40 Kaia has not given any food yet.
She cleaned the chicks and tidied the nest.
Her beak is very dirty.
