    Mini Moorhen begging

    And then there were the Moorhen and Coot chicks - so ugly they're absolutely adorable. Just look at this one waving those stubby, naked little wings :loveme: I watched these chicks alongside another birder. She said she'd lived near this reconstructed wetland park for 30 years and this was the...

    Close, but no cigar

    I kept trying for a shot of a moorhen chick stepping across the pond on the lily pads - little black fluffball, candy corn beak, and feet as big as the lily pads it walked on. I kept getting shots with clear fluff, but head turned away; clear fluff, beak and eye, but feet under water; or big...

    The easiest birds to find, and watch, in the Botanical Garden in Dublin were the moorhens. Ordinary though they are, they are also fun to watch with their spooky calls, mysterious black figures in the shadows, and bright colorful beaks.

    Heading for mummy

    The moorhen's three chicks seemed to be finding plenty of food on their own, but this one headed back to mummy for a handout and a bit of encouragement.

    I saw a small family of moorhens in one of the local creeks. I didn't linger too long for fear of disturbing them, so I took this shot and left them alone

    I believe I saw claws on the tiny stumps that will become the wings. Imagine this chick without the down feathers, and you have a miniature dinosaur anno 2005.
