This morning the 3 Avocet chicks hatched on the island in front of Sandgrounders' Hide took to the choppy water one after another in brilliant sunshine,the parents doing a good job of seeing off other water fowl that ventured near. Photographers must have some excellent shots-hope some end up here. Opportunities like this are rare considering the predators lurking-there was a Great Black-back not too far away. Is this the best place in the UK to see these iconic birds so close?
More hatchings of both Avocets and Gulls imminent.
