Moorhen on Nest

 This is the third Moorhen's nest that has appeared on the lake. they have been very busy this year. I have never seen so many chicks from this species. The first two nests were close to the islands but this one is very close to the waters edge and quite some distance from the other two. The chicks from these birds look so cute, starting out as all black with a red beak  and then the juvenile appears is a two tone brown.
