They all turned out today. The heron was an early arrival…
And the Greylags hurried along to see what all the fuss was about.
A hungry robin paused to see what was going on.
Even the terrapins couldn't resist a peek.
So what were they all so interested in? The newest kids on the block, that's what. And they're tiny. Yes we have another clutch of moorhen chicks. I counted four. I couldn't see them all (they were keeping under cover), but they look very young indeed. Such odd looking little things. They can barely walk and just bob like balls of cotton in the water. 
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.
