Every parent knows youngsters can be demanding, especially at this time of year.
So, if you're looking for ways to alleviate school holiday boredom, look no further as we invite you to witness some of Kent's wild birds as they wrestle to meet the demands of their own offspring.
Waterbirds at Leeds Castle includes a cast of young great crested grebes, moorhens and coots all hatched in June, and now engaged in the sometimes challenging task of being taught how to stand on their own webbed feet!
From this Saturday we'll be at Leeds Castle with telescopes and binoculars, to show you all the excitement during this final, crucial stage of the breeding season.
Watching juveniles perfect their feeding and flying skills on the water makes great entertainment for those watching – and gives visitors with their own demanding brood a spot of light relief.
Come and introduce your own brood to the wide range of wild birds and their young at Leeds Castle - you won't be disappointed.
