Can we talk about baby Moorhens? 🐥

#BabyBirdGlowUps

A baby Moorhen chick looks adorably tiny sitting atop a body of water, it's dark fluffy feathers stick out haphazardly, catching droplets of water.
An adorable, small fluffy Moorhen chick sat on the water reaches up to its parents beak, tiny wings outstretched in a gesture of "feed me, please!".
An adorable, small, fluffy Moorhen chick sat on the water. It's tiny wings are outstretched in a gesture of "feed me, please!" as it looks up to its parent, who is looking away.
A baby Moorhen, with too-large feet, bald spots and adorable fluffy plumage, walks atop algae covered water.

@RSPB Met this fluff ball while kayaking on the Cam a couple of days ago.
Amidst lots of reeds and leaves stands a small fluffy black blob with a small fluffy black head and a red beak with a yellow end.
