Happy Monday everyone. Hope those of you on the east coast are staying as warm as you can. Anyone get snow?
I cant remember if I have set this challenge before, I think I may have.... but anyway, lets see photos of those, how shall we say it, less photogenic birds 
The ones that only a mother could love.
Like the old saying goes, a face only a mother could love.

Still super cute, but baby Coots are a little unusual looking compared to some imo.

Hi all.
I had trouble finding a suitable Australian bird for this challenge - all of my photos had cute looking little birds, not ugly ones! Need to dig up a brush turkey photo or chanel-billed cuckoo or something!!
Anyway I found this one from a trip to Africa - the Ground Hornbill seems to fit the theme this week.
Good luck everyone!

Thats an unusual looking bird davethewonder! - would not want to be on the business end of that beak!
The Brolga is not good looking in my books

Not the best looking Cocky in the world but very popular with everyone that visited Bramwell station.

This young Dusky Moorhen is cute but odd looking at the same time
This weird looking Indian Myna must have just had a bath.
Cute as chicks, but rather unusual looking as adults, Masked Lapwing.

I don't think Ibis are considered to be cute even as chicks......

Pretty much the only, not so pretty bird shot I have. Baby Wagtails only one day old, from earlier this year in my backyard. Mum loved them thats for sure.
OK, not a bird photo but since you asked about the snow Holly, yes we got some.
