Just an update on our pair of moorhens that are nesting near the pond (lake!) Last Tuesday we had terrific storms which gave us a deluge of rain, it was very much needed as we were entering a drought around here but sadly it has washed away the moorhens nest and they have lost that batch of eggs which hadn't yet hatched. But we despair not! they have been coming onto the pond and chasing each other around in a mating frenzy. They must be starting again and intending to try and have another nest of eggs to hatch. I am really pleased that they are determined to survive and hopefully these eggs will hatch as I can't wait to see the fluffy little chicks rushing around!
