With summer powering on, it seems the young birds that are currently being tending to by their parents are doing well. Nowhere highlights this better than the Brownsea Lagoon currently which is bursting with life There are young birds all over the place including the standard good numbers of Sandwich Tern and Common Tern chicks, lots of Black-headed Gulls still with young, Oystercatcher chicks, Shelduck and Gadwall ducklings…the list goes on. If you get a chance to visit over the coming weeks its well worth it and a jot to watch.
