Yes!!! Guess what I am having for dinner tonight.....

I was quite a distance from this bird when I noticed he was having alot of trouble trying to get the food into his belly.
It was only when I put the images on screen I realised what he was eating.
You can see the movement in his head as he was shaking it.

EDIT. at Lotherton Hall they feed the large birds dead baby chickens....

Good timing, Barbs. Guess they do need to eat something and he does look rather pleased with what's on the menu!
