A mayhem of moorhens on the Medway.
Returning from grandson's play group this morning, we crossed a pedestrian bridge and watched what we assumed to be two pairs squaring up to each other. A fight broke out in which one half of each pair leaned back in the water and scrabbled at each other with their claws. I assumed these to be the males, but part way throught one of the presumed females waded in, her partner backed off, and she seemed to be trying to drown her adversary. Eventually the said adversary beat a retreat and went off to lick his/her wounds.
