Moorhens Nest in Reeds, Toomebridge: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a rare and enchanting view of a Moorhen's nest nestled amongst the lush reeds in Toomebridge, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The tranquil scene transports us back in time, inviting us to witness the intimate world of these intriguing waterbirds. Toomebridge, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes and abundant wildlife. In the early 1900s, the area was teeming with Moorhens, who made their homes in the reed beds along the shores of the River Bann. This photograph, taken from an unobtrusive distance, allows us to appreciate the intricacies of their nest, skillfully woven from reeds and other plant materials. The Moorhen's eggs, speckled with reddish-brown spots, lie carefully arranged within the nest, awaiting the hatching of new life. The protective mother Moorhen can be seen nearby, keeping a watchful eye over her precious brood. The serene water reflects the surrounding foliage, creating a mirror-like surface that adds to the overall beauty and harmony of the scene. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a testament to the rich natural heritage of Toomebridge and County Antrim, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
