All in row left to right 1H1 Maya on post and 1H3 and 1H2 on nest 33 off sticking!
Morning ALL and thanks LAM for all the updates / captures.
Hopefully you are both feeling OK and ready for another day :-)
Scrolling back as far as I could, 33 appears to have delivered another fish after the one going overboard!
last night:
20:13 1H2 was tucking in while 1H3 looked on / waited
20:15 1H3 was sneeking up to steal and 1H2, grabbed the fish and flew off with it!!
20:17 2 minutes later, 33 arrives with a whale for 1H3
33 flies off and the youngster drags it over the nest
all full as the fish remains overnight on the nest for breakfish
