Keeping an eye

My friend and I went for a stroll around the lake this evening, to look for the Moorhen nests. We found five. At the far end, we found this chap, perched on an outcrop. A closer check of the area identified that some of the tiny babies were swimming in the area, and he seemed to be watching over them all. Unfortunately the babies were too well camouflaged to get a good shot, even with the long lens.
