I missed the whip-cream smeared windows in their tunnel, but caught the sugar crash afterwards when they were plopped out on a platform together. I did manage to be present later for their "birthday cakes": a frozen disc of blood sandwiched between two discs of frozen goat cheese. They seemed to enjoy those a lot, unsurprisingly. :D
Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 G
