Big feet by judithg

Big feet

I'm sure there's a witty title for this but I can't think of it! I've been trying to get a shot of my favourite baby birds (moorhens) all season but somehow photographing these little black bundles of fluff with enormous feet and faces only their mother's could love has proved tricky. Today at the back of Queen's College a little family was strutting about on the lily pads and I finally caught one.
it must be very difficult to walk on those lily leaves! She could be saying ''keep up''.. lovely capture Judith ! ' She has a very striking red beak!

That little thing is so ugly, it's adorable. It's scenes like this that my husband has to drag me away from - I could watch these forever doing their birdy things.

... she's saying ...' Don't fret. I'll tell you a story... There once was an ugly duckling ...'

It's always a good feeling when you get THE shot you have been looking for. The chick is a bit ugly looking....but i'm sure his mummy loves him!

Bright greens and reds. The color really brings me in more than the subject. I like the subject too though.
