Prancing Around.

While I was taking a brief rest during a walk recently a pair of young Moorhens put on a display of prancing and balancing for me.
Whatever the weather and wherever you are have a good wildlife watching week......FAB.

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

  13. 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

  15. I have never seen a moorhen before, Frank. It seems they can be quite the dancers and quite entertaining too.
