All the chicks were alive and well the next morning, but today they were in the habit of falling or jumping in the water themselves. We scooped them out several times each, but they kept jumping or falling in so at one point we just gave up what seamed to become a pointless exercise. Maybe they’ve had a taste of adventure yesterday and are now impatient to explore the world.
Apart from the stress the Coot chicks were giving us, it was a slow day today. Lots of time for work and preparing the next stage of the trip. The weather is supposed to clear up tomorrow, so we’re leaving for Gouda.
