This is the common coot. A very discreet bird. I surprised this one occupied to nest. Enjoy :-)

Looks completely unaware of your presence. Photo is as pleasing as ever Pierre. Nice light, reflections, and nest off center for a nicer effect.

I love the ripples on the water. And how the dry branches occupied almost the whole photo. Beautiful shot Pierre. Were you in a boat or something?

No. I am on the bank, between the bushes. She saw me, but she remained to protect its nest. Taken with a 200 mm zoom. Thanks Neez :-)

Thanks for another wonderful bird shot, Pierre. Exceptional, as always, although coots will never replace swans in my heart. :)
