17.48

Little one stayed in the back and pushed forward when the other 2 were done.
Mom's full attention it has, but she feeds it rather large pieces which fall out again often.
It has had enough anyway.

At the end of the feeding, little one got food also.

It begins to rain...

The camera is not playing at the moment, so I went looking in Pontu archives to see what was recorded of the fight between #3 and #2 (thanks, George, for the videos!)

Pontu, earlier today:
10:33


10:34
#3 grabs #2 by the beak

Hi Nancy! Wow Pontu caught that very angry eyes of number 1 very good. Impressive!

[NancyM]

hi Jopie - I think that is #2? Uno is over to the left of the fighters.

Also from earlier today (not recorded before, found these in Pontu)

10:42, Madis brought a fish:



12:34 Another delivery? At least, another feeding.





13:03
Uno claims the fish by lying on it


13:05

I can't seem to get the cam today. Great coverage by those who can. The chicks are really blending in with the nest now and moving away from each other I see by the pictures. Also glad to hear that the lil one got fed enough again :-) Hopefully I will be able to get the cam later.

What is Piret doing? Acting very strange, and making a very unfamiliar sound.

Then No 2 went straight to mamma to complain. all the while he has a rugby tackle on No 1.
Thanks to you all for the pics and recordings.

The cam is just showing a black screen here...and I have no other cam open.
I hope it will come back soon.

hi Jopie - I think that is #2? Uno is over to the left of the fighters.

Nancy, I thought, the blackish 1 is number 1 and the one with the more brownish head (especially at the backside of the head) is number 2.
Please, don't tell me I am already confusing them

I have them the other way around~ (one of us in confused )

I have them the other way around~ (one of us in confused )

When we see them all 3 at once it will become clear, no doubt. I think you are right
Thinking about it, the brownish color must be a changing from the black, so 1 step ahead of the 2nd 1.
