User's notes
Tough being a youngster, first an adult feeds it, next adult pecks it's back quite hard, it is left dazed and falls off the post into the water. Thankfully it manages to swim (who knew they could do that) to the reeds and climb up to safety. Shortly after an adult comes looking and finds it in the reeds and is seen returning there to feed it. Hopefully it will survive.
