Two days ago I was on the pond again.
common moorhen or swamp chicken (Gallinula chloropus ) with chicks of different sizes. Some are extremely tiny!
adult with a chick- she was feeding it
another chick was alone

The meadows were full of geese. these are a few kilometres filed and meadows on the Bodden. I've been watching them for days. They are near my home.They rest there and fly away at around 11:00
