Baby moorhen and mum

This is a shot I took at a local lake on Sunday. At the end of my walk around the lake when I had already given up on taking photos of the waterfowl, I spotted this moorhen with a tiny chick. I couldn't get very close. Whenever I tried to sneak closer they disappeared among the reeds. Therefore I had to take my photos at full zoom and still had to crop considerably.
