A few days ago I saw this moorhen brooding on her nest. (that's the set: I found something). Today I went as always with the dog in the woods and I thought, I'll go and see how it is with my future mother. But it was very tragic, I saw no mother on her nest, but a stranger who was eating the eggs. It was a real battle against the strangers, but the mother lost her eggs. This is very unfortunate, but this is part of life.
(The stranger was the mother who already had older children ...)

Oh how sad, poor little moorhen mother... but I guess that's life! Annbramwell · 2012-06-11: 13:58
