A beautiful image of a fascinating little fella. I'm guessing he'll grow into those feet. Well done!

What a lovely photo. Unusual and fascinating. I guess even when they are chicks they still have to follow mum around so the big feet are essential. Seems to be nothing but feet and fluff.

Martin,

Thanks very much, by the way Mum is long gone!. All she does in the breeding process is lay the eggs, dad builds the nest and raises the chicks, strange but true
