Hi All 12 56 one of the chicks exercising wings
EDIT I Would respectfully ask our MC to do a short vid if possible please pretty please
I now have an on screen keyboard
I think Axel brought in a fish that one of the chicks (1C1?) began eating from, and the other got interested in and then took.

Mum finally sees the fish, observes 1C1 ineffectively trying to self feed, and takes it from him.
14.48 feed ensues

Around that time all the YouTube streams went haywire and I'm being flooded, have had to switch everything off - except the Dorset Hobby and Foulshaw Moss. I've saved the last few minutes of Loch Garten up to that point and will "analyse" when I get back, I have to pack up now.
Oh misery! SYAL.
