Scrapper the alpha male EWS is definitely a bottomless pit when it comes to food. Cold wet weather gone today and he was back in the same spot standing guard (I think) over his territory (and harem).
Scrapper is insatiable, he just get can't enough food. This contrasts greatly with Lizzy (the very friendly and tame house female EWS) who is satisfied generally with less - 4 or 5 worms is usually a big feeding for her. Maybe she knows she can rely on me to give her food when ever she needs it if she's hungry and cant catch enough herself.
Scrapper wont let me closer than about 12", no matter how slowly and non-threateningly I move, he runs away and hides behind the downpipe but peeks out to check what's going on within a minute of hiding.
Lizzy and Scrapper have such hugely different personalities, even before I got Lizzy to trust me, she was never as greedy as Scrapper is.
