9:11am Stu is just laying quietly at 6oclock spot.

10:33 am -- My computer is running VERY SLOW and I need to shut down.

I hope Stu gets a nice meal soon...


OUT

5:05 pm. Dad brings prey

Mom arrives and starts to feed S2. Food has red blood, but it had a very smooth skin that made me think fish.

I was running video last night while I was reading and fell asleep. Got up at 11:30 to turn it off nd just did a quick video of highlights. Stu self-feeding and then parent arrives with a huge fish!

Thanks so much for the video, Darlene! I tuned in at the exact time that you woke up and turned the video off, which was 5:30 pm Aussie time. So glad to see the beginning of that feeding, apparently it was an eel and they are really tough, so Mom was still working at it an hour after it came in!

Not only that but chatters said that the little fish that came in just after 4 pm, on which you captured Stu feeding, was the first food of the day and he ended up losing it either in the sticks or over the edge of the nest. I was glad to see that he worked on it for 20 minutes or so first.

Stu backed away from Mom's feeding at 5:37 pm, by then he was sporting a good-sized crop. Mom then tore into the eel with vigour, she seemed ravenous and by the time I tuned out just after 6:07 pm her crop was bulging, too.

From time to time Stu moved over to her and received a few more mouthfuls but think his/her appetite was satiated, Great to see.

2:45 am Stu sleeping peacefully, dreaming of litttle fishies?

He's dreaming of BIG fishies!
