Cootlings

All my friends in Scotland are reveling in their freedom to go hillwalking again, but I'm stuck in Dublin as we're not supposed to leave the country unless it's absolutely necessary. So I took a break from my sums today and went for a little stroll in Phoenix Park and got these Coot chicks on their nest. Ugly little critters really, but I'm sure their mum loves them and they will hopefully develop into the sartorial elegance of their parents' tuxedos.
