Thanks Floridian, EFGeorgia and Lee. I never forget for a minute just what a privileged position I'm in to be able to follow this little ones growth and behaviour and get to observe the parent birds interactions with the chick and with each other. It is enthralling.

EFG, you're right about development. I'm frequently appalled by the arrogance of certain sections of the community, where they believe that because they can do something, then it gives them some absolute right to do it. The importance of and respect for other life forms are simply not in the equation.

I took this shot yesterday. The chicks growth is noticeable from day to day. It was quite a warm day and the chick would keep getting under the parent for shade. I could hear it panting.
