Yesterday we saw the first moorhen chicks of the season. They were difficult to count but there appeared to be more than three. This morning I thought I saw six sitting on a floating reed but I can definitely confirm five when I saw them later swimming together with an adult. I think there are eight in total but I am unsure whether that is one brood or two. All will be revealed in the next few days I'm sure. Given that they have been diminishing in number and we normally see the chicks earlier than this it is great to see the chicks at last.
