There maybe 9 Dabchicks on the Slea now ? You may remember that there were 3 Dabchicks the other side of the railway bridge past Cogglesford Mill. Today there were 4 at intervals along the Slea between the Mill and just past the railway bridge, 3 of these didn’t seem that worried about us as we walked past, unlike when we saw the 3 the first time, so I am unsure if the same 3 are around or not ? I also saw 4 Dabchicks between the Mill and the Hub where there are normally 5, so did I miss one or has one ventured downstream, I am unsure but will try and fathom out what has happened over the next few days.
I also saw our lone duckling so he is still doing well, and a Kingfisher. Here is one of the Moorhens this morning…
