Little ones

Followers of my blog maybe remember my post of last Saturday about the nesting moorhen in a art shoe in the canal,  watch "here". I saw an empty nest now and one of the parents swimming with two little ones.

And there were even more of them, they were with six. It was a turbulent stormy day and the water was rather restless, they jumped up and down.

  3. Never seen the chicks of the moorhens before, they have bald heads and don't seem as pretty as the mothers...

  4. Looks like they could use some extra lifeguards on hand at this pool. :-)

  5. Nesting and babies are a delightful rite of spring! Incidentally, I am in the 5th day of a difficult period of vertigo so my posting and commenting has been limited. Eventually I hope to be back to "normal!" Have a good weekend!
