Bird portraits at Daisy Nook

Birds have evolved a wide range of faces. Here’s a Coot with that large white faceplate:

And a Mute Swan with a large basal knob:

A moorhen with a red and yellow face:

And a Woodpigeon with the most bizarre face of them all.

Amazing what evolution has done, and continues to do, as it works its magic upon what DNA gets represented in future generations of every living thing.
