Things are hotting up, the eggs are now either hatched or close to, as Elizabeth is spending more time out in the open, either hunting small insects, or preening and awaiting delivery.

Meant to publish this yesterday, as it is the mate of the "Darcy does Deliveries", but I put up the Elizabeth one.
He landed the main branch in the other shot, and she simply dropped down. To tell all the tale, she was on the brach before he landed. No wasted time by Elizabeth.

Another from the feeding series. Mr Dacy brings in a nice centipede for the young to enjoy.
He takes them into the nest, and I presume divides it up among the young.
