Dusky Moorhen and chicks

[wigz]

The chicks are just about past the cute and fluffy stage.

1. Through the blades of grass. I tried to get some shots of the adult feeding a chick but couldn't both get the angle right and avoid the grass.


2. What big feet you have.

That's about their teenager size Alan. They're still cute. I refer to the baby ones as pot scourers while they have that wiry looking fur. There's a lot of coot bubs here at present and they look similar. Their feet are enormous!

Thanks Isac. I haven't seen many here.

I do like no1 best despite the grass. It tells the story.

[wigz]

Thanks Hans. I rather like it too.

Great set. I really like the interaction in the first.

Thanks David, that’s what I was after, just a bit annoyed I couldn’t avoid the grass. I have a few of these shots taken over the years but not one is just right.
