No cutlery needed

when one has such long fingers! Apparently it must have tasted very good.

I have been back in the meanwhile and noticed so many doing the same. At least this time I was in a hide and closer to them.

Apologies to those who found the swamphen a bit too much, but next month there will be more, just not a week of them ;-)
