There's very little protected wetland left in the UK, & many marshes were drained a very very long time ago, this is what makes the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust so very special.

Originally I wasn't going to upload this photograph as I felt it was too distracting, but feel differently now. (o:

People are crowding out everything, Phlossie. More old coots and less Coots.
Lovely shot and it is not distracting at all.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I like it Phil and agree with Tick it is not distracting . We Humans continue to move into areas that our wildlife calls home . We destroy and call it progress ... sad state of affairs.
