04.25.10 Louis arrives with half a fish. I suspect it’s the remains of last night’s fish number five, not a new one.

16.19.27 Tiny tiddler trout turns up - complete contrast to last night’s whale!
20.07.12 Fish number three, whole decent size Brown Trout. It's very damp on the nest and the family are glad to see this fish, it's gone in 30 minutes.
