Just a quick update to say they I think only one Dabchick egg has hatched so far as I saw eggs also still in the nest today when the sitting Dab stretched its legs. Hopefully some more will hatch over the weekend 
Just before the Railway bridge (past the Mill) I saw the 2 adult Coots but no Teenager, so I wondered what had happened to him. He was further downstream where I saw all of them yesterday. The adults were quite a way from the teenager so it will be interesting to see if they all get back together again ?
