Not sure why this juvenile appeared to be much larger than the adults. They were distant, this is over 50% crop of my 90d, overcast sky.

whilst hidden down in the reeds juveniles were at play. I think there were 3 until mother called them to order

I especially like the first image, Richard. I love the look on her face.

Thanks Mike
Agree. She sat there staring and squawking at me whilst her tail twitched left and right.
Time when video with sound would have been nice.

Fish planting by park services, for fishermen, but birds get most of the fish.
