AT LEAST HIS MOTHER THINKS HE'S BEAUTIFUL

Certainly not the prettiest young chick, this is a young Coot. The bubbles and swirls of water to his right are where his mother has just dived down in search of food for him.

They're definitely not one of the cutest chicks. You've captured it at its best!

[Maggiemae]

Goodness, one hopes that there is a Cinderella somewhere in his future!

[Joyce W.]

How funny looking! I have never seen one before! Great capture!

[sarah]

They have such a funny appearance as chicks- I wonder at what age they lose all that colour. Nice shot & title!

[Dawn]

Oh very sweet

[Milanie]

Guess I've never caught one at this stage - your title fits perfectly. great catch.
