Spring is well and truly sprung around the dock, the trees are looking beautiful in all their fresh greenery.
The swans are still around their nest on the pontoons near the apartments.
There are 2 families of coots nesting on the pontoons close to the Green Frog this year. It's amazing that the coot chicks manage to survive the attentions of the blackbacked gulls, but they do somehow. The nests are ingenious constructions of twigs, straw and fast food cartons, and it's quite comical watching the male presenting the female with drinking straws etc. for her approval.
2 Terns have been flying around the dock today, have not yet seen any sign of a nest.
