Very nice catch! As strange as they are the babies are actually kind of cute. I would guess it is a protection measure. Mom is very caring and protective as well. She is also an unusual looking bird. Good focus and clarity. Good color. Well done.

This is a beautiful looking family. First time I've seen these little cuties here and I think they are just gorgeous and so unique looking. So different from the parent.
I assume they eventually mature to look like mom, but their colors are amazingly bright and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this one of a kind shot.

Yes, they are beautiful but look a little strange to me! Your fine, full and central composition provides us with an enjoyable, sweet moment in nature. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Eurasian Coot with her new chicks with red down on their heads kept VERY close & in sight as some might say "Only a mother could love them" Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Yes. I agree. Never seen these birds in this part of the world! Very unique I think! Finely composed and timed this makes interesting viewing!
