IMAGICAT
At long last 1c1 has a fish and eating it
Asha came back with a fish 4.17, it looked whole but think it must have either been well eaten by Asha or a leftover, not a lot of meat. 1C1 on nest when she arrived but she never fed her, IC2 soon returned and had a good share, 1C1 had a few bites and moved forward and had a bit more, not as much as 1C2, He is very vocal. Do you think there is something wrong with 1C1 right foot/leg, she moves a bit and seems to hold it up, was kind of lying with it under her but the left leg still up?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
