Moving day

Once feeding well we move babies from the white fiberglass rearing units to bigger rearing units, this provides the birds with much more fresh air and space.

Inca Terns

This mornings nest boat inspections, we have a newly hatched chick and eggs which are currently hatching.

After the disaster last year of the whole month of May being colder than December we decided to encourage all nesting inside. This should help the chicks keep warm when their parents stop brooding.

Spectacled Eider This is the first time this female has laid for us. Last season she creche reared all our young Spectacled Eiders making the transition from rearing tank to outdoor living much easier for us and the ducklings. Hopefully she will improve the quality of her nest as she continues to lay. #spectacledeider #smithsnurseriesthorngumbald #seaducks
