Nicely captured Stu, as for the chick it has to be better looking than the chick of the Coot,

Wow - Brilliant photo, I love how the chick is resting on a lily pad whilst the adult is in the water.

Thanks Dock_g. Couldn't get out far so went down to the local canal. Tried to get something out of the ordinary from the ordinary. Still can't make up my mind, cute or ugly!
