In and after the rain

This post is dedicated to Common Iora couple that lost their two babies two weeks ago.
I documented here how mother Iora protected her chicks from the rain and bad weather.
See how she spread her feathers fill to the brim of the nest, sealed it and protected her chicks from wet.
