I'm so glad you've got an easier way to type, TREVOR - I'm useless with all techie mod cons, I've even got my Windows10 set up like Windows7 and have disabled the touch screen
1C2 as reported by TREVOR:
Unknown said:I think Axel brought in a fish
Where was Mistle? She'd been gone 5 minutes when Axel arrived and didn't return for ages after he left, and then took quite a while to notice the fish (as may have been mentioned). This was good practice for the kids, they made a little progress handling the fish.
This has taken hours - I found no more fish by teatime, at which time I had to shut everything down so I don't have any evening footage.
Found a disappointingly small fish on rollback:
I don't think there was another before Asha retired to the perch, as pictured by CC
And thank goodness !!! The YouTube streams are back to normal today :)))
The original weird insect is back. This has been much "enhanced" to try to bring out the shape - head on the right:

A very good size! Thanks, Trevor.
This is a bit foreshortened but there wasn't a good view of it on the nest.
Still a bit unstable but more often upright and mobile.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
