Will it escape the predators

Luckily I wasn't at Leighton moss this morning where the following photos where taken, because here in Penrith it was like the monsoon season, extremely wet and warm with it, so my self and the Westies  got rather wet.  It was a good towelling down when we got back, then I did the Westies LOL.
   So pics from a resent trip to Leighton Moss, and another instance when the lens wasn't quite up to the job.

Possibly the male of the two Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) which were ----------------------

Guarding a chick , reasonably well camouflaged.

And it looks like it wants to be fed.

But oh dear mum walks away leaving the offspring rather expose to predators.

But a persistent youngster brings her back to finds it some tit-bits

Or maybe just a lesson in how to find your own.

Either way lets hope it survives the predators.
