One bird calling unseen near to the bridge where the lakes join. However, in the open for just a few seconds by the outflow that's been cleared of vegetation opposite the hospice, was a black fluffy chick! Could only have been out of the nest for a few days. Seems late. Second brood? A privilege to see.
