User's notes
The whole family at play (or anting, but watching the activities for five minutes or so, it seemed more like play). Took a video. Three adults and two, this season, juveniles.

@HelenCross Actually three adults and two juveniles. Two females and one male in this family. Not obvious till later photos that all three adults are involved.

Hi Helen, I thought it looked like this too but as I continued to watch, the third adult was in there somewhere. It certainly didn't fly in afterwards. After this I switched to video and the third adult was clearly involved. I'm as puzzled as you.

Ah, thanks. I'll probably do a social media post with a couple of those photos and talk about 3 adults and 2 juveniles then.
