We really don't know anything about dad Szuwarek, last time he was in the nest with fish two days ago, on July 3 at 18-19.
But mom RoSzponka is near the nest guarding it, she is sitting on the pole, below the nest, so we can't see her in cam. At first it was thought that it is kidnapped juvenile.

And yes, Birdfriend, the only juvenile today's evening begin nicely helicoptering.

There is update on fb with photos ( in Polish, but you may use translator ):

Silvergirl thank you for that update, I'm glad to read that Mom is nearby ...Hopefully the last chick could it make and will fledge, it is hartbreaking to follow the tragedy about that family.

Birdfriend, for many years until ten days ago I thought that our nest is very happy nest. And now I am forced to change my mind.
When after the first attack goshawk didn't repeat it within next 1-2 days I thought that it never more come back.

Now we are worring very much about dad Szuwarek ...
Both chicks were fed two days ago last time and the last one surely is hungry
And we also are no longer sure that goshawk forgets about the third juvenile.
That is chick #2, as first was kidnapped #1 and today #3.
I'm crossing fingers and wish good luck our pretty last juvenile
May s/he safely departs to Africa.
