May 24 – I ‘m convinced that whatever gave rise to moorhens and coots existing had the plans backwards. Baby coots – featured here last week – look, as Phil Griffin put it ‘Like badly knitted moorhens’ – and he’s right. On the other hand, apart from  the remarkable feet, these moorhen chicks could easily thought to be coots.

The antics of both are hugely comical, however. So nice to see.
