Definitely one of those "time stands still" moments. How lucky that you were in the right place at the right time. When I think of all the simple pleasures nature has to offer, I get gushy! One little happening this morning made my whole day....a parent Yellow Warbler was feeding a baby in my stand of willows. That's all. As simple as that. As simple as watching two dancing moorhens. ~karen
Great close ups Frank.
ReplyDeleteFrank is a mating ritual or something or just the usual horsing around. Great photos. Carol
ReplyDeleteThe third and the fourth of the lot are the best. A pre-mating ritual?

ReplyDeleteSmart photos, Frank. I can`t seem to get anywhere near the Moorhens on my patch. If only they were as approachable as the Coots.
