Location, Date & Time of Observation:
2024-07-01
09:50 AM to 10:38 AM
at: Newbury
Number of Adults Visible: 2
Number of Nestlings Visible: 3
Number of Fledglings Visible: 0
Weather Conditions: 71 degrees, sunny, wind NNE at 10mph, gusts to 20, tide was high and falling.
Other Activity: Only one adult was visible at first. She was standing in the nest with light brown lumps in front of her that didn't move at all for 15 mins. She flew away for a minute and on her return, the chicks started moving. 30 minutes in, the male returned with a small fish. I could see 3 chicks. The adult in the nest didn't look like she was feeding them, but they were gathered around where the fish would have been. So, perhaps they were feeding themselves.
Observation Method: 0n foot
