CHICK this out.

Today's Camera Club spread is another nod to our feathered friends and features a touching picture taken by Tina Ralph.

It shows a proud parent and chick, swimming serenely on the water at Abberton.

We also have a splash of colour, courtesy of Marion Houlding, a bird in full song, thanks to Ant Niles, and a peregrine swooping near the top of the Jumbo water tower, in Belinda Trenfield's picture.
