@cornishbird.bsky.social Still E+1 this morning, a month old now, 11 others, 9 m in varying moult.
@cornishbird.bsky.social Hiya, l just spotted your fox pic, it's really rather good... Not bad at all in fact!
What is this? a bee? he/she approached my aluminium door and after a slight struggle vanished through a gap into the door ! Nest building? Or is it food?
@cornishbird.bsky.social l believe that this our Cornish born Eider, feeding away from the gang. I don't think it would be easy to pick him out otherwise.
@cornishbird.bsky.social No sign of the duckling today, Rita checked 3ish and the female was on her own. Slightest chance of a second brood? Or next year with more females and a home grown male?
I am afraid that the inevitable has a habit of happening, the remaining Eider duckling has vanished, the female was seen alone around 3pm today.
It is following me around it seems, Spit this morning and Par beach pool this evening.
