I have been watching the tern and swan nests regularly over the last few weeks.
I really thought the swans had abandoned their nest a fortnight ago, as I hadn't seen them for several days. I was pleased to be proved wrong, and they have hatched 3 cygnets. They have now left the nest and are swimming en famille around the dock.
The terns are feeding a chick, or possibly chicks, and it's marvellous to watch them swooping around the dock area, gathering food, then returning to perch on the edge of the nest and place the food in the chick's maw.
