Deep within the dense curtain of reeds, a tiny creature blinks into the world for the very first time. Covered in dark, downy fluff and crowned with a striking red beak, this newly hatched moorhen hick is a fragile marvel — vulnerable, yet already alert to the rhythms of its watery realm. Soon, it will take its first wobbling steps across floating leaves, shadowing its ever-watchful parent.
