Curlews at work

Lovely little curlew pair sitting on an egg.

I can't tell you how any kids I've had to yell at to get them to leave the birds alone and leave them be. Despite the orange fencing, put up by Mike, the workman, to warn them away from the area, they just want to hurl stones, sticks, toys and objects at them. What is wrong with these kids? Finally, after the end of third term holiday break, the chick has hatched! They are gorgeous, but still the brats in Yr 8 threw books at them, out of the Library window. Honestly, disgusting behaviour.
