Tuesday 28th December 2010 (cont)

Will tries to fly off - unsuccessfully as his foot is well and truly caught ...

... and completely loses his footing again.

He is stuck like this for several seconds ...

... almost getting pulled ...

... feet first into the box!

Finally, it's Harry who loses his grip on Will's leg ...

... which enables Will to escape and fly away ...

... so that Harry falls in a heap onto the floor.

For a while, Harry stays on the floor, apparently gathering himself for whatever Will tries next.

Twenty seconds later Will is back - he lands on the roof of the box.

Immediately, Harry flies up to defend the hole.  After what happened on Christmas Day, he's not going to be caught napping a second time

Will seems to be a bit more wary now too.  It looks as though he can see Harry back in the hole ...

... and decides he's had enough for now.  He flies off without making another attempt to go inside.

Three minutes pass before Harry decides that Will has had enough, and that it is safe to  leave the box.
