We were about 50 metres away and had a good view of the process. She held the fish in her flippers and released the fish several times and recaptured it, eating most of the body, leaving the head and tail, however we left before she had finished.

It became more alert after a while. He / she (I cannot tell) occasionally stretched it's neck round or twisted into different resting positions. I stayed there for about half an hour (at a safe distance). It seemed like it would return to the water because it was becoming more active. I have heard that it was no longer there early this morning.
