Our eight baby coots have become six. However they look as if they will survive. Their wingeing gets louder and louder and they are moving between the nest outside our boat to their second home on the weir and back again.Six baby coots plus the parents are too much for the nest. However the nest building continues.The day before yesterday the nest outside our boat became so top heavy that it has collapsed and overturned. Now they are building it again on its bottom.
A couple of weekends ago I was sitting on the veranday watching a mother duck with her one day old duckling when out of the sky a herring gull came and took the baby duckling. I was so shocked and for the next couple of hours there was the horrendous cry of a mother in distress.
Yesterday we saw a baby deer swim from under our willow to Ash Island
