Egyptian Goose

with 10 of her 11 chicks. Unfortunately they stay in the reeds, as the Pied Crows and other birds try to get at them. The parents are always both there and very overprotective.

The parent looks very fierce there! What a lovely shot with the colours and reflections and all those cute babies hiding out in the reeds.

Wow so many babies

[Lou Ann]

Lovely colors in this scene. I’m sure it takes a lot of serious guarding till the babies can fend for themselves!

[Henri Russell]

Nice capture of her and the chicks. I'm sure she has her hands, uh wings, full trying to protect them.
