Common Moorhen - Parent and child

Before arriving at the office for another indoor workday of data analysis, I watched this pair of adult and chick Common Moorhen in TBG.




They were just standing on the reed and not doing much - no danger, no caution, I guess. A bird's life is pretty wonderful.

PS - I do not think I have mentioned this before, but our barbet research lab has a blog (in Chinese) (http://blog.xuite.net/twbird/blog) that reached 1000 views today! A pretty incredible feat, I must admit. Go team!
