With all this rain I wondered how the last family was doing and I
went to see them again.
The nest was still there in the pond. Both parents were very busy
looking after 4 little chicks. So cute! 1 Egg remained in the nest. That means what was left of the
nest. It was half the original size and looked very shallow. The 2 adult birds worked hard to keep it in a reasonable condition, adding
weeds and leaves, rearranging them where necessary. They seemed to know what
they were doing. I watched them and the babies for a few minutes and moved on.
Little heads popping out of Mum's fluffy feathers
Already good swimmers, able to leaf the nest briefly
The last egg, will nr 5 make it to this world?
Not yet 1 week old, cute as hell!
