Hi Terry, in case you did not know there is a female Tufted Duck with 7 ducklings on the Slea. I saw them late this afternoon and again this evening near to where the Dabchick nest is. All the chicks seem well developed so I think Mum has hidden them away for quite a while. I am not having much luck with the Dabchicks as the best I could come up with was the 2 parents and offspring (unsure of the number), 1 teenager and 1 other adult. For good measure I also saw a Kingfisher by the sluice next to the Swimming Pool.
Regards Graham
