The chicks from nest 1 have now fledged and spend their time out with the other birds at the water edge. Quite a few of the chicks can fly at this stage. We have 4 chicks that are very young and they are being brooded by the parents. There is still the odd new nest, the latest being yesterday with 2 eggs. At this rate, we'll be there till Christmas!! The next eggs due to hatch will be towards the end of the month. Judging from the chick monitoring, looks like all are doing ok.
