07:53 He leaves the box...:
07:54 ... only to come back under a minute later:
07:56 Two potential offenders: J80 and 2E5 (only the beak has made it):

07:58 Admittedly, J80 hasn't harmed the chick at all yet (J80 is both rachitic and either juvenile or immature at best, not really cut out to be a bully):
08:41 The parents have left - this could spell trouble:
08:41 2E5, looking very Dad-like, has come all the way around the box:

08:42 And now for some action:

08:44 This'll keep 2E5 away for a while:
09:08 Mom surveys the neighbourhood:
09:33 There's no way through for 2E5 (on the ground):

10:50 A tense standoff develops:
11:09 2E5 breaks the deadlock:
11:09 A couple of ugly pecks find the chick's head and neck:

11:38 Just 25 or so seconds later the chick enters the restaurant:
11:39 It's the chick's second visit here:
11:39 And an opportunity to do some flying practice:

14:02 Having stayed out of the nest box for over 2 hours now, the chick re-enters the dining arena:
14:02 Did curiosity kill all these animals?
14:03 Another lively leap:

14:08 Dad's made room on his favourite hillock:
