BIRD NEWS:338



Onwards I walked and came across a pheasant perusing the sunnier side of the undergrowth. it may also have been looking across at its mate - as there was movement in the grasses beyond.


I rounded the reed beds and woodland hide, with little new to my camera - but spotted the moorhen back on the nest nearby. I could not see close enough - but it looked like it was attending either a youngster or an egg.


Further along, there was another moorhen with chicks this time - little fluffy black things with tiny little wings, awwwwwww.


They seemed to be able to swim, toddle along, squish through the mud, and keep up with the parent bird fairly well for their size and shape, however.

  1. Hah, the babies are cute. :D

    The pictures are back to having a variety of sizes. The first one is huge, the next one is small, the next one is big, the next two are medium, and the last three are a little bigger than my screen.
