These chicks are very shy and always stays hidden. Luckily i got off these shots even though they are partially covered.

inspired by sir martin "mother and child" moorhen, here is my own version for the waterhen. "showing the way"  and "side by side"  |

sir martin, the waterhen chicks are very shy. i just wait (hide in the bushes) until they are about halfway into the open, then i would take the shots while they are running back to there hideout. hehe.  yep, i hope meet all the birdnuts soon. meanwhile i will continue to patrol the hardin.  |
