A pattern has emerged, the 2 older chicks to the front get fed first
#3 gets its turn later in the feed.
Flora stretches over the 2 bigger chicks to reach the little one who is calling loudly.
That’s been 7 fish delivered today. Well done Harry!

Flora does try to ensure all 3 chicks get a feed and will stretch over heads to reach #3.
It looks like the black plastic tubing has gone from the front of the nest and more sticks added since yesterday.

Fish #4 arrived at 11.03
Flora initially takes the fish to the right hand side of the nest. She finds it awkward to reach the chicks
#1 chick takes its frustration out on the other two who go into submission.
Flora drags the fish to the other side of the nest
Feed more successful here, not much for #3 though
Harry takes the fish away

Yes it is indeed Wendy. You just never know what Flora will bring to the nest though.
