Great shot. There is certainly plenty for them to eat on here even if they have to risk a shock to get the tastiest stuff. I think you may have taken this at the 'bay' along the path furthest away from the House with the Lake behind you?- there used to be a wooden log shelter here- 'Pertinax' shelter'- but it eventually collapsed and hasn't been replaced.
 
Exactly so.
He had quite a struggle to get as much as he wanted.

Interesting as I have in the past watched Pertinax and one or two of the previous males(Richard, Damisi etc) do similar here- I think its because they can get at the Willow just here which they obviously like.

'Bukavu' the male at Blackpool has a similiar style. On the island a few weeks back he started to stand on his hind legs and pull the leaves off the branch. However not through the electric fence.;)
