A surprise in the park today: a mother coot with chicks. Here’s one of the chicks. At first I assumed it was a moorhen chick because of the red beak, but no, its mother was definitely a coot, so it was too.
I had never seen a coot chick before, so the gorgeous golden fluff on its head took me by surprise. And now I understand the expression “as bald as a coot”. #birds#Edinburgh#Scotland
