Dabchick-

I've been discretely observing a pair of Dabchicks over the last few visits & I think it's safe to say that a happy event is now only a few days away. In spite of the colour of their breeding plumage, once they are in the reed bed, they are surprisingly difficult to see. Fingers crossed, I might get to see the young scrabbling on & off the parent's back as they rush to receive the next meal from Mum or Dad.
