Single parent moorhen

Having written in a recent blog that both parents as usual were attending to the needs of the five moorhen chicks, I was surprised to find only one parent on duty. The reason became clear as there was a dead moorhen close by floating in the water.The cause of death is not obvious although the neck is broken which may have occurred as I fished it out of the water. The genders are identical so I don't know whether it is the mother or father that continues on feeding duty. I hope it can cope with five chicks....
