Common Tern Update

With the first batch of Common Tern chicks ringed and now all fledged and all somewhere around the lake (with maybe a few fatalities), we now have the young from the eggs that were laid somewhat later.  Today there were three youngsters on the closest raft and presumably small number on the other rafts.  They should all have fledged in the next week or so.

Common Tern - A juvenile in the water close to the rafts.  Still being fed by it's parents.  If it swims over to the sand spit it should be safe.

Common Tern - An adult with a small Perch for one of the juveniles.
