Little Gull now on the Sailing Pool
Seen Thursday from concrete hide;
Adult female robin feeding begging adult male robin a large white grub. She then flew off and the male nipped across into the hedge. She returned with another similar white grub and hunted around in the bramble calling and looking for him. She then flew across to the hedge taking the grub with her.
Is this bonding behaviour?
Hi Margaret - have a butchers at this thread: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=170874
As with previous years it will start to get very confusing trying to moniter all the Avocet families so here is a stab at a naming convention for each brood that has emerged so far so we can track there numbers and locations. Working left to right:
Brood A - 4 young on the foreshore to the left of the hide
Brood B - 4 young on the left hand end of the "pipe" island. Ringed bird "64" appears to be the father
Brood C - 3 young on the middle of the "pipe" island. Had ventured onto the foreshore earlier in the day. Female potentially still sitting on 1 final egg
Brood D - 2 young ranging between the right hand side of the peninsular to the left hand end of the delta
Brood E - 3 young ranging between the right hand side of the delta and the secondary fox fence
Brood F - 4 young on the "beach" in front of the third Flash
This evening broods B and C were at times less than three foot apart so I suspect one will be forced off the island soon.
Common? Crane over Moors flew north east.
F-ing hell Rob - any photos? Another potential Upton first :t:
