Nice catch there, this is the first time I am see a Waterhen chick. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Good shot there, Erwinx. I have seen the chicks a few times but never able to capture it with its parent. Your low angle of shot makes the picture stands out.

Cheers

thanks for the comments. i guess if one waits at the bridge at BG long enough, birds will appear (though I'm still waiting for the common kingfisher

)

Nice capture.

This is the first time I've seen the waterhen chick, always seen the adult bird around sometimes. Shot using your 300mm f4 IS?

I have seen smaller chicks of waterhen in my younger days. But I did not know that they are so cute even when they have grown bigger. I like the pose of the birds. If anything, the chest portion (white) of the adult waterhen seems a little washout. I encounter similar problems in the field even though the white portion looks okay to naked eyes. A good capture nevertheless.

Cheers!
