04.00 - 04.08 Dorcha and the tail: finds an old fish remnant which is mainly skin and tail, feeds herself and bob2 gets a few scraps, bob3 gets a mouthful. Dorcha has great difficulty swallowing the tail, has several goes before succeeding.
04.49 Fish number one arrives, rather small whole trout. Dorcha starts feeding immediately view obscured, not sure if bob3 got any.
04.53 Dorcha departs, Bob1, with a golfball in crop, tries self-feeding dropped bits
04.56 Dorcha returns
15.02 chicks home alone, size difference is striking
Careful with that ax Eugenia! Dorcha returns and causes chaos
