It's getting near the end of the fish, Harriet is battling with the tail area.

This is a great video showing just how peaceful these two sleep thru the night, NOT... it also answers the question as to why Wakati has a big blood stain underneath her on her feather's by her left leg when she did some morning stretches.

this was last evening - a fish was left on the nest overnight.

early morning antic's - the fish is still there, Harriet is on the perch.

Wakati gets up revealing the fish and Harriet hops down to the nest to claim it before the feeding starts.

Wakati is a bit hesitant, maybe not as hungry as Congo.

Wakati gets a piece that's more than a mouth full and moves away from Harriet to tackle it.

It takes her a few minutes before she gets it down, she's learning.
