I think she couldn't swallow this catch and flew away at 19.25.07 after short communication with Natalio

[marika.solo]

FEEDING 19.46 Natalio - it seems only little one ate this time





even the youngest has a ping pong ball instead of a throat

[marika.solo]

CHANGE 21.07 Zica in - Natalio immediately out



Zica observed the river area to 21.09


after a minute she succeed to swallow this catch (Natalio arrived with this prey)
