I saw the baby…

I saw the baby Moorhens today, all 3 of them :) Not a very good photo but it shows one of them…

… I didnt see any Baby Coots as mum was still sitting on its nest and I assume it/they are there keeping warm.

I did see s Duckling below Cogglesford Weir on its own, I think it either came over the weir or was washed down the Mill ramp. I looked hard to see if I thought I could rescue it but it never went into a place that I thought I could get to it :( I just hope he survives, at least the nights are not that cold now and Ducklings do feed themselves from day 1 so he has a chance but I think only a slim one :(

    Hi again Terry,
    I am fairly sure there is only one Coot chick, the nest was briefly exposed and I only saw the one chick – no sign of any other eggs. I did not see the Dabchick today so I expect it has flown elsewhere.

    Regards
