They tend to be more skulking at that time of day, especially when it is this hot.
I do note first broods in my diary, our first Mallard ducklings hatched on 4/4, our first Coot 23/4 and Moorhen a little earlier still. The little Grebes are fiding it hard to find a nest site, as the Coots tend to take them first.
