There were around eight moorhen chicks around and then they all seemed to disappear and we suspect that was because of the presence of the heron or worst case was the result of the heron eating them. However the heron has been around less in the last few days and some at least of the moorhen chicks seemed to have re-emerged. I think there are four at least and of course they are juveniles now and look quite different to the colouring they have as a small chick. They have raided my gooseberries and raided my strawberries and now those are both netted they are waiting for the plums to ripen so they can steal a few of those as well.
