19th June
I spotted this moorhen nest being built on the regatta's temporary floating markers. Just along from 2 workers who were building a steward's hut. They have been so busy, the male to-ing and fro-ing with luscious bits of twiggery and suchlike to present to his partner who carefully tucked it all in to her new home. I am bothered for them as to what will happen when the regatta is over if she hasn't laid her eggs and hatched them by then!? They will be evicted like our onboard spiders and there is no way of warning them. Oh dear.
