Following loons on Kuikanpesä
|
We had noticed that the loons were rally going to have offsprings this year and in July it really was confirmed.
We followed the family (from a safe distance) the whole summer and by August the youngster was almost full grown
Here is a small diary page of the events. |
First appearance in July 3.

From far away the youngster looks like a tussock.

On the following day the whole family is on the move.

Such a sweet picture.
