Feed me (Porphyrio melanotus)

Also at our look out pontoon was a chick with an adult Swamphen.

Obviously very hungry too, really going for the begging posture.

This was the first chick I'd seen I think.

A beautifully colourful capture of this intimate domestic scene Delia. The youngster looks as big as the parent! Albeit less chubby.

Such a sweet image of parent and child and beautifully captured D!

I almost wish they'd stay that black color as it looks beautiful girl!
