Less of a Moorhen

... but he’ll grow. Common Moorhen (gallinula chloropus) at Arundel WWT, West Sussex, England. To gauge his size, those are grains of wheat on the lower right of the photo. Got to love those oversized feet and almost non-existent wings! ;o)

How cute. Just today I the season’s first images of mallard duck with her off-spring (she must have had 20 ducklings …, never seen so many). Beautiful shot, Krys!

You’ll see when I post it. She was surrounded by them in the water. It was too cute!

Well if initial coloring is an indicator, I’d say this fellow will grow into a beautiful bird.
Great photo Krys on such a small subject!
Krys Bailey replied

Thanks Richard! Have so many cute feeding shots but the light was all wrong for these very dark birds! Aren’t they cute? Hope you have a super weekend! ;o) x

I know you said the moorhen and coot chicks were virtually impossible to get a good image of Krys so you must have taken this one after that because it’s perfect in every respect, impressive work my friend,
