Our Moorhens have been very busy this season, just provided a third brood of chicks. Its a small brood with just 3 chicks.

During a recent rain shower the mother was sheltering the youngsters and it shows where the phrase ‘taking them under your wing’ may have come from!

We also have a juvenile Little Grebe which I think was one of the two born on site.

We also have a couple of Mallard chicks that suddenly turned up a couple of days ago, they look maybe 3 or 4 weeks old.
