Four chicks swimming and one taking a ride. And all of them sleepy.  ☺
This was a treat, I have not seen them before.

Those gulls are really nasty sometimes. They are bullying every bird that comes close to the nests even if it is birds that never bother them. They do the same thing to cranes. And coots. But Coots are understandable, They do eat the eggs.

A pair of Northern Pintail was feeding at Knutstorp today. It is open ground down hill but I could get rather close before they took off. But I think it was the Lapwings that alerted them, not me.
