I guess the 'ugliness' of these is to make them look less appetizing to a predator (such as a heron !) but such defence is not always successful.

Avian Grey is sister site to American Grey | light and features bird photography that seems to form an increasing part of my current portfolio. My thanks go to Henry the Heron who became very much my passport to the Avian World.
