I was down on the docks the other day and in
among the containers an oystercatcher had
laid three eggs in a little dusty hollow. The
dockers had put cones around to prevent other
containers being put there.
A couple of days later I was there again and
they'd hatched. Three oystercatcher chicks
running around - brilliant.
For the size of bird, btw, the eggs looked
huge...
When did you see nature at work in an
unlikely location?
i keep tropical fish and my son wanted a tank
of his own so i set one up for him and off we
went to buy some fish. i wanted to buy him
some easy to look after ones and bought him 6
mollys, when we got home i got out the bag of
mollys from the box in the boot to find one
had given birth to 8 babies.
