Watched this Mother chasing off anything that came remotely near her baby, Quite sweet really

Saw some of that behaviour on the telly 'tother night, they are quite aggressive when it comes to their babies!

Lovely shot, I like the reflections, shame the chick spoilt mums!

I like this shot, its finished off by the reflections for me. Saw the agression on SW but they are just being protective and good parents, nice natural picture

Pity really, it could have been so much better. The mother's too central and as said, the oof chick blundering into the adults reflection is a distraction as is the bit of land at the bottom right.
