It's not all about Terns

This handsome cormorant is feeling the heat


You can see the fuzzy red heads of the coot chicks inside this tyre nest. I'm not sure if any eggs in the 'rubbish tip' nest near the Green Frog have hatched yet, the adult is sat there every time I go to look.


The tern chicks don't like to be ignored


And finally .....


The tyre nests on the pontoons have been a great success so far, and I'd like to see more of them. I wonder how many people who pass the dock each day realise what is going on a few yards away? It would be great to have some identification boards, similar to those used on RSPB reserves.
