Ugly Duckling.

A 3-day old Coot.

It amazes me that something so hideously ugly looks so nice when it grows up.

A face only a mother could love..!!

I was at WWT Arundel last Saturday and there are quite a few of these around. I didn't get a single decent pic as they move so fast and are usually hidden away in the vegetation along the ponds and streams edges............so I'm really impressed with this image you've captured Phill. Nice one mate.

Thanks Keith. This nest of 2 adults and 8 babies was built alongside a friends barge in a quiet canal mooring. This was through an opened window. They were sitting ducks...literally.
