We had almost given up on the nest of moorhen eggs (it has been well over three weeks since we first spotted them) but suddenly six little ‘sootball’ moorhen chicks have appeared, with both adults.
Here’s one of the adults teaching the chick to feed (on water crowfoot). And three chicks closely following an attentive adult.
