Here are a family of ducklings - with....3 mixed species parents? um....
Ah, that's better - two youngsters and one parent - moorhen in this case, spotted on our reedbed boardwalk walk.
Plenty of blackheaded gulls in the house marten hide area which has now been reopened and filled up. There were also a couple of house martens around - but no terns.
Here are the Bewick family - Orangetag and Silvertag and their 3 teenage youngtsers from last year - with new nest in situ.
It looks as if they are still adding the final touches to the nest....but after last year's success, they may have another mob coming eggfully along shortly.
Here is one of last years youngsters.
and another of the trio to finish today's post....
HERE is info for summer sunshine days....relative to birds.
I love that island. It's great to see Orangetag and Silvertag are still around with their kids. That shot of the youngster in the background is really nice.
