The adult Willets have brought their chicks from the nesting = territories half a km or more inland to the feeding territory - the cove = in front of my cottage. Three pairs of adults were present, with broods = of 4, 3 and 2 chicks respectively, showing the dangers of the journey to = the shore. Also, both Osprey nests around the harbour had nestlings present - no = heads showing yet, but adults could be seen tearing up fish and feeding = them to young. It was a windy day with choppy water, so no broods of = Eider ducklings on the water, but I saw some sunning on the shore with = adults. Wonderful time of year.
