Observation details
Upon entering marsh area I was soon dive-bombed by a female adult making alarm calls! This was repeated several times (a first for me!) While briefly scanning the area I eventually saw a juvenile (significantly darker than adult female and seeming to be uncertain about its flying skills still as it re-positioned occasionally). As I hastily exited the area to give the protective mother some relief I noted an adult male higher up circling. It seems they probably nested right in that area, and this was one of their young they were still watching out for after successful fledging. I only managed a photo of the adult female as well as audio of her alarm calls (attached).
