Several birds have successfully raised young this year. Here are a selection of those I could mange to photograph!
 |
| Little Ringed Plover and chick - Showing one of two surviving chicks. It is thought that the brood was originally at least four but the others clearly lost somewhere along the way. |
 |
| Great Crested Grebes - A pair on a fairly recently built nest in the works bay. |
 |
| Great Crested Grebe - a pair had built a nest close to the west bank supported on some submerged branches (see my post of 23rd June). Unfortunately it seemed to sink a little and they appeared to abandon. I assume it is the same pair that are now building a nest on a submerged metal frame. This should be very solid so hopefully a better bet. |
 |
| Little Egret - An adult on the NW island watching the youndster (below) on the SW island. |
 |
| Little Egret - Juvenile perched in the island where it was raised. |
 |
| Oystercatchers - Two of three birds present. These are two juveniles and the third an adult. It is unclear as to where they parents bred. |
