Feeding Time by carole_sandford

Feeding Time

This mother was feeding one of her babies. I would call this a moor hen, but apparently it’s now known as a Gallinula - who knew! The babies are tiny fluff balls with not so pretty faces, probably doesn’t show up too well, as they were a long way off, but I liked it.
It's a sweet moment.

Such a sweet shot! I just googled, as it's new to me too.

Gallinule, which is Latin for "chicken-like," describes the way moorhens walk and peck at food along the water's edge ;-)
