A moorhen and her chick are seen here relaxing in the lilies, The mother is preening as she watches her chick sinking individual lily pads to form a pool to bath in.
With bathing complete the chick uses her well over-sized feet to spread its weigh as it walks around the pads conducting its first foraging exercise.
Rest period over the mother steps in to organise the foraging.
