First food delivery for big chick (with plume feathers on it's back). Little one tried in vain to steel the prey...

Here is a nice description of the two young falcons with exact external distinguishing features of legs and plumage! I have retranslated the Facebook translations from Hungarian with DeepL, because this good software offers better grammar and word selection.

https://www.facebook.com/Ragadoz%C3%B3m ... 735355175/August 22, 2021: Both chicks back in the nest. While we were out looking for the chicks outside the power pole, they were sleeping peacefully in the nest on the morning of August 22. Later, when they woke up and got hungry, they started calling loudly, indicating that they were hungry and waiting for food from their parents. While stretching, the pictures were taken in which the chicks can be seen.
In the older chick, you can clearly see from the leg stretched forward that the feathers are white and not brick red as in the parents. The larger chick can be distinguished from the smaller one by the presence of a feather interspersion next to the permanent feathers. The plumage of both chicks differs from that of the parents in that the wing feathers of both chicks are entirely grayish brown, while the feather tips and edges of the young chicks are brightly colored.
While the adult birds have pointed wing tips, the young birds have rounded wing tips that later become pointed when they are adults.
It is very likely that before the young hobby falcons set out, they return to the nest box to rest. Their next task is to find prey, since they are still being fed by their parents.
