It was quiet but lots of young birds. There were young Little Greebes as well as broods of Gadwall, Mallard, Tufty (one with 15 chicks!!) and Pochard. Also a few Lapwing and a Green Sandpiper. The Terns have been turfed off of 2 of the 4 Tern rafts by the coots but seems to have got the other two well covered.
This is what happens when two broods of Gadwall chicks collide.
I think Carol wanted more barges.
Common Blue Damselfly I think.

Crikey - feathers certainly were flying there!
Like the grass seed heads.
Think it's quiet for birds in most places at the mo - more's the pity!
I must get back to Rye Meads myself some time. Nice place.
Good capture with the squabble.
