Willow perches on the extreme right, then moves over to the left and has a good look down as if gauging the distance to the ground…
12.30 Hop skip and jump - but Willow’s not ready!
14.17.54 A flapping flatfish arrives! Fish number two is very lively, the chicks aren’t sure about it but Dorcha shows them how to deal with it
16.50.34 Fish number three, medium BT. Dorcha's not getting a look in, neither is Sarafina as Willow has nabbed it.
Two more fish arrived, Louis doing well despite the rain and wind which prevented Willow from fledging.
Fish number four, whole BT 19.45.18
Fish number five, small whole BT. 21.42.40
Two soggy sisters
Synchronised flapping by the chicks, watched by Dorcha 05.22.20
Fish number one, tiny whole BT 05.42.43 more of a breakfast snack!
A bigger breakfast! Fish number two, headless BT 06.53.30
