Young Moorhen

This is the one survivor from the batch of three born during the atrocious weather in April ? What with the bad weather and the Gulls! It's a wonder any of the survived?
During this juvenile period,they have the most wonderful mix of brown plumage which you don't really notice unless you get up close?

View Large to see the fine feathers.

Had the Big Sig on the D3 for this shot for a change!
