A pair of Moorhens stays in the pond where the Horned Grebe stays. They have been there for a week now. I cross my fingers that they will stay and breed. Then I have a chance to see young. I have never seen that before so that would be nice.

  10. Your photos are always so clean and sharp, Monica. Love your style. Hope the moorhen does stay around--would really like to see their young--bet they are very cute, especially the head.

  17. Jag försökte mig på att få foton av rörhönan då jag gick bort till Boda kvarn men det gick inte så bra. Uppgiften var alldeles för svår för min kamera. Det hade annars varit roligt att ha någon bild av den även om jag inte når ända upp till din klass. Det kommer väl.
