The male had been eating a fish in a nearby tree when I got there. He and the female would periodically call to each other. He then arrived with the partially eaten fish and landed on the nest. The chick headed straight over to Dad and the fish and started feeding himself. Mum, spurred to action, made her way down the branch scolding him all the way. He was trying to see what the chick was doing, along with keeping watch on his mates movements. As she advanced, he retreated closer to the edge of the nest.
