I get so much peace and pleasure from sitting beside our park pond, this is one of six hatched a couple of days ago.

Great pic.

Thank you Cee Gee . The photo is lovely.
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

I always think whoever designed the Imperial Walkers in Star Wars must have been a bird watcher.  :)
So long and thanks for all the fish

Fab picture.   My favourites are the moorhens.  We have a few families.  They are really fierce and their chicks soon become very able to stand up for themselves.   We were watching a newish family chasing all the drakes out of the reeds.  There was a new duckling family in the same reeds so their females were having a bit of a hard time also.   But no-one seems to mess with the moorhens.

I once saw a Moorhen take on a heron, it fluffed up to almost twice its size and flew at the heron making one hell of a noise.
The Heron bottled out and flew away 8)
