Tern ringing etc

Met up with Tim and Cath as planned, we got the boat out sharpish and they were soon on the right had raft,  3 Little Egret flew off towards Lavell's. Tim later posted that a total of 22 chicks were ringed, 15 chicks were on right, 7 more on the left hand raft, along with 30 Black Headed Gulls. Estimates for Common Tern chicks on other lakes are 3 Lavell's, 5-10 Sandford.

I had a quick scan and found another Little-ringed Plover was hanging out near the family of 4, there are 4 in the shot below;

At Lavell's Tern Scrape there were 2 adult Oystercatcher, the 3 Little Egret were preening, with the two juveniles having a squabble.

At Sandford one of the Oystercatcher flew in and stood on the big island calling loudly for a while, appearing to be looking for it's young, but it did not appear to go to a chick and flew off towards Lavell's again, so I fear they have lost both?

A female Tufted Duck appeared with 9 new young ducklings.
