There once was an ugly duckling


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.
