Our chick can swim!

I had heard that oystercatcher chicks could swim but was stunned to see it.
The chick was only 7 days old and lined up by mum to start the swim from the mangroves to the beach. To get to the mangroves mum and dad had walked it around the lagoon but the return trip that afternoon was heart stopping.
Mum lined the chick up and once it had lost its footing and was swimming, she left the chick on its own to swim across. It only took 12 minutes but it seemed like hours.
Here are some photos to enjoy.
