During a recent sunny visit to Barnes Wetland Centre, I saw a Moorhen family in the reeds. There were two really strange looking Moorhen babies with bald red patches on their heads and black fluff on their bodies.

At this stage in their lives, the tiny chicks really do look like a couple of aliens.

I can't remember if the Moorhen below was part of the family, but it looks very nice with a strange reflection in the lagoon.
