Thanks for your concern, EFG and Lee. It's amazing the positions we're willing to put ourselves in an attempt to get a shot.

Pelle, she is a truly beautiful bird. I will take up Methodical's suggestion of recording it.

Methodical, I'm able to very easily identify the female because of the band on her right leg. She has a bung (? blind) left eye.

Wallaby, it will be really interesting over the next week or so to see if there's a rapid spurt of growth. We're only a few days off summer and even when the weather has been only warm, the chick pants like crazy. It would find it difficult for it to tolerate the direct sun if we were to get a really hot day.

Here's a shot showing her leg band (but not the bung eye).
