The Coot is still around and is reasonably friendly for a Coot 
I only saw 1 of the baby Moorhens that are up near the Mill, not sure what has happened to the others. There were 2 more Moorhen families also today, one family has 6 babies but I dont know how many the other family had.
The winding hole is just about finished 
and sadly I heard today that they are having a ‘New Bridge and Winding Hole Celebration’ INCLUDING a boat for passenger trips – GUESS WHEN – yes thats right its right in the MIDDLE of the nesting season – unbelievable. Almost anywhere on this stretch of the Slea, and ESPECIALLY in the very narrow parts, a boat will be at best a few inches away from Moorhen nests that cannot be seen, the wash from a boat may well wash a nest or two away WHY WHY WHY can’t the ‘Celebration’ be at the END of the nesting season, from October onwards when the danger to the wildlife would be minimal
