Silver Sands 3 chicks 10 July 10

A video of the entire Silver Sands SP family on 10 July 10. With Tom Z, found 3 chicks, still carefully tended by two adults. The family was back at its old stomping ground, within the symbolic fencing surrounding the exclosure (Orla extended the fencing west to the breakwater and out into the water at higher tides--great.) Yesterday (9 July) the family was foraging west of the breakwater, so they are mobile, but like the "boardwalk" family of a few years ago, they still return to their nesting spot.
In the video, two of the chicks are at the bottom edge of the images.
