Time for the newborns of the common moorhen. ❤️

Happy Saturday to you all!
It's a synny warm day here and so this morning, before the lunch, me and my hubby went to walk along the side of the small river close to my home to watch the little ones of some ducks who live there.
I had my camera (a Nikon Coolpix B700) with me and so I took some pics of the newborns to share with you!

At first, you have to know these are the babies of the common moorhen (Gallinula chloropus). Here in Italy we call this kind of bird/little duck "Gallinella" that means "little hen", that come from its latin name.

Maybe you are thinking this one is not so beautiful one, but there is a song of the italian singer Pino Daniele (I love so much his songs!) that said "ogni scarrafone è bell'a mamma soja" that means ( in the Neapolitan dialect, one of the many italian dialects) ""Every ugly child is nice for his mom". 😊

The parents of the little ones are always around them and you can see one of them (I don't know if it's the mom or the dad) in the following pic:

It's very common to watch this kind of bird here and now it's the time of the newborns, so, like we use to do every year, we'll watch while they will grow up step to steps walking there almost every day. ❤️
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
