Or daughters. Not far from my place, this little Aussie battler built a nest near a public area. It is easy to photograph by standing on a tree in the water itself. A rather cute bird with lots of character. The pair are raising four chicks and all are happy as I type today. Will visit again tomorrow morning. Captured this image on Sunday, today there was rain and more rain. :(

Wonderful capture of this family, Akos. You did a great job with comp considering your limitations. Lovely details on the nest. As usualy great job with the flash. Great story here.
Flash looks great on the nest. The adult looks a bit bright. Love the sharpness and the view of the tail. A bit more head turn towards you would have worked well.
