They are just as adorable out of the water, with feet as large as their little bodies.

Not of a coot chick, I do have one of the closely related moorhen though.

What a fantastic shot!
Yeah, it's surprising how colorful the chicks look compared to the adults.

Kind of the opposite to most species, oystercatcher chicks (got a photo to upload soon) for example, are almost invisible..Β

Fantastic catch! Took me a second or two to see the chick - that's what I call great camouflage (especially when half the body is submerged in water)!
