LITTLE DARWIN MENAGERIE SURPRISE

One of  our  two  resident   Curlew  families   has  produced  a  chick  ahead  of   time , seen  here  with  its  mother , another  egg  still  to  hatch . Worryingly, it is adventurous , runs about in the open where it could be picked  off  by  a  bird  of  prey . It  went into  the  prone  position with  its father.
