Wetland Visits


Even during the restricted isolation, we are able to drop in on our feathered friends at our nearby wetland at Uni Hill. We were concerned to note that the four Eurasian Coot chicks are now only one. What happened to the others we do not know. The surviving chick is growing and its parents are helping it by ducking underwater for the food it keeps chirping for. It is not an overcrowded wetland and so the birds that are there, the two swans, numerous Moorhens, Eurasian Coots and ducks plus the one goose, one heron and one cormorant, all must feel pretty pleased with their lot in life.
