What a great shot and the little babies. Are they common in your pond?

They are Wells,when we moved here there were two adults.they were unsuccessful at raising any young.there eggs were been taken over time leaving none.the previous owners of the bungalow mowed all around the pond edge and the island in the middle was mowed too.I did not mow and let the grass,reeds and nature take over.This year they have had over fifteen babies in total,in two separate broods.Plenty of places to hide,when I feed the fish all the moorhens come when they see me and eat the fish food.They all look very healthy.:0)
