Dusky Moorhen and chicks

[wigz]

I spent a couple of hours wandering around Tygum Park this morning and these are a few of the Dusky Moorhen shots.

A few adults were feeding with a few babies out in the lake. When a passer-by dropped some feed the adults raced over and left the chicks. They soon went back to them.

Love the chick in the last picture. Has a wise look about it. What about the bubbles? Not fracking the place?

[wigz]

Thanks Hans. No fracking near here, but I do wonder what is in the water and mud of these suburban lakes. The birds seem to cope, and people fish here.

Great set Alan. I like the little blue patches on the brow of the bubs. I can see some good captions for these ones

[Isac]

You had better not hold your breath.
