What a cheek! Here's me, as thin as a pole and they're just goggling at me. So, a quick look to make sure that there are no hoomans about and none of those noisy black and white jobs with brushy tails in the garden, and I'm stabbing down into the water. Oh Gaia, a piece of cake! Well, a piece of fish actually, a nice fat golden fish. Lift it out of the water, give it a little flick in the air, turn it towards my beak and down it goes! Why head first? Come on! Ever tried to push a Christmas tree through a door with the roots first? I mean, fish might have a tiny end, but the fins stick out the wrong way, and those little flaps at the sides of their heads might get stuck in my gullet, and I don't like choking any more than you do!
