Moorhen chicks on the pond

by Mars

Our resident moorhens have had their chicks, and just like the mallard duckings they are tiny and adorable. With the ducklings gone, itโ€™s really nice to be able to enjoy the moorhen chicks on the pond. Weโ€™ve posted some photos and very short video clips for your enjoyment.

Last year, we only saw two moorhen chicks, but this year there are a lot more. Theyโ€™re not as easy to make out as ducklings when theyโ€™re on the water because they blend in, but by our latest count there were nine. Theyโ€™re a lot easier to spot in the shallow water when they contrast against the algae.
