Our first chicks on Dunces Corner Pond have arrived and it is our pair of Moorhen that have been first to produce. I’m not sure exactly how many they have, the most I’ve seen together is 3 but I suspect there may be 5 or more. The parents tend to split the brood and look after a few each. I’m guessing these chicks are 1-2 days old.

Three chicks visible if you look closely

Hopefully I can get some better picture in the days to come.
