Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted August 27, 2019 The Moorhens on the ponds by us, have not had much success raising young this year. The first nest, open to view, containing 8 eggs got robbed by crows. The second nest was built to low down and got flooded. The third nest built higher up and more concealed, looks like being more successful. It's directionally opposite the decking over looking the pond. I've been keeping a watch on it and the last few days there's been more activity by the parent birds. Had me thinking some chicks had hatched. This morning got some photo's. I can only make out three chicks, so more could be further back. 12 bore is at the ready for any visiting crows. 3 Alan, Triumph66 and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
