After a trip on the bike I spotted this Coot sitting on the nest...
Went back with the heavy stuff , Tripod and ED300mm ....
It was if they were waiting to pose for me because shortly after I arrived these two little "ugly"ones showed up from beneath the mother Coot..
Hope you like them ....

Very nice Fons.

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"

Fons, you have hereby proved that cliche!

The mother-coot is a bit over exposed, you may want to spend just a few more minutes with the PP to get the whites, blacks as well as the red eye 'just right' before printing a poster of it.

Cheers, Jens.

Brilliant shot Fons. Only a mother could love them. The detail in the babies is great. All the best, Ingrid.
