There was a pair of Moorhens who both wanted to sit on their eggs, of which one had hatched and the chick went away from the nest by itself.
I was surprised to see a third adult bringing them food. I guess it was their offspring from their previous brood.

Very nice images Alan. Looks like a great place to
Visit. Bit of a trek for me though.
