This is a follow up from earlier posts.
The broods of the Golden Eye are now about 7-8 days old and the can be left alone for a while. I don’t know how they speak to each others but before the female left she tell them to stay and wait for her. This is they favourite stone in the rivers as you can see.
This is not so sharp but I want to share it anyway, they are cute.
I hope you like it. Note see Earlier post
