On our way out of this area we paddled by a nest of a forester tern pair. There lay a newly hatched chick. This nest had 3 eggs. So more to come to this happy family. We were very quiet as we paddled through. l feel we were quite blessed to have witnessed this wonderful area. l do not give out locations to my photos all the time to protect the species and their habitat. This is a very fragile habitat here and very sensitive. We will not go back to this area now as well.

This is the chick that had just hatched,egg shells still beneath it. Could see them with the binoculars. What a miracle of nature.
