Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so they say. I don`t know who `they` are, but they must have been thinking about young Moorhens. A chick that only its mother could love, it always amazes me that this ungainly little ball of fluff with a bald head can become such a beautiful bird.
I dont know which is the more ugly John. The Coot or the Moorhen chick.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I must be a softie - I think it's kinda cute.
ReplyDeleteCute, aren't they? Nice blog, John. I'm now following you and I've added a link from my blog.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
It amazes me too John because I always think the Moorhen is beautiful... but the poor chicks appearance does leave a lot to be desired :)
ReplyDeleteHi Roy,
ReplyDeleteI know, neither of them are what you call `lookers` are they!

Hi Cat,
ReplyDeleteLittle balls of black fluff are quite cute, it`s when you see their heads you have to look away!

Hi Jan,
ReplyDeleteYes, the Moorhen is a lovely looking bird, with very unattractive young!

Cuteness alert! Great shot ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dominic,
ReplyDeleteI suppose they are pretty cute, in their own way!
