Bingham's Breeding Success?

Just like buses, two posts come along in quick succession!

The young Coot, as predicted, has survived and is almost full size although still happy to beg for food from one of its parents......................................................


Similarly, the young Moorhens are progressing and there now appears to be at least 10 young some who are happy to pose on the footpath and others that play hide-and-seek!


There was only 1 Mallard duckling, protected from marauding Lesser Black-backed Gulls by its attentive mother...........................................................................

However, the bravest bird was a female Tufted Duck that protected its duckling from not only LB-bGs but also from a Grey Heron.............................



In addition to the wildfowl, there were also a few Blue-tailed Damselflies present.....
