Spring at Rye Meads


Lots of signs of Spring last Friday. The female Kestrel on the left comes off sitting on the eggs when the male calls her, accepts half a rat and flies away to eat it while the male does a short incubation stint. Lots of pairs of Gadwall and the Coots are as aggressive in defending territory as usual, here chasing off a Tufted duck. The Robin and Coot already have young families, very vocal in demanding food.
