This shot was taken about over a month ago at the WWT, at the time there were four pairs of Coot parents kept busy feeding their young. This one will probably collect several seeds for its brood, however their natural diet is mainly vegetation, snails, & insect larvae !!

Trust me when I say these adults were run ragged, but what surprises me is their almost immaculate appearance. :o) This out of water shot clearly shows their enormous semi-webbed feet which makes them such strong swimmers, & powerful divers.

Have a good weekend ... Phlossie. :o)
