moorhens again

moorhens last seen ages ago have 4 babies on the pond a hundred yards away. We have 5 bantam chicks too. I think the depression over the loss of the ducks in Holy Week has lasted much longer than I expected and I've not wanted to blog about them at all till now. We've also 'hatched' our deacon into a priest today and that feels pretty fulfilling as a protective training-incumbent-bird.

Ooh...you're back! How lovely!
(Excited tail wagging ensues from the inner golden retrieve)
Excellent tidings re the moorhen chicks, the bantams are a delight (I expect they are looking more grown up, with serious feathers by now?)
As for your newly hatched clergy chicks,- I wish I could be there for the deaconings too. What a wonderful weekend for the Church (and, of course, for St Katherine's)! x
