Messingham’s broods

Lots of successful families seen at Messingham Sand Quarries today including these Shelduck chicks which must qualify as the cutest ever, lets hope the Pike don’t get them,

and here’s our Willow Tit family again not yet left the nest although another family of Willow Tits have fledged on the reserve.  Also seen today were 4 superb Hobbys, 1 Peregrine and a pair of Spotted Flycatchers.
