Quietly seated in the monsoon humid heat is this White-breasted waterhen on her nest in a shrub

Quietly seated in the monsoon‑humid heat, a White‑breasted waterhen sits on her nest in a shrub, surrounded by the calls of lapwings and the profusion of monsoon rain awaiting the arrival of new‑born chicks. The female has laid a clutch of five eggs and keeps them safe and at the right temperature so her chicks can hatch.
