Damp & Mild

 Coot showing off it's toes.

 I counted 30 Coots on the Big Lodge this morning, never known so many but as the breeding season progresses some will move on.

Eight male Tufted and two female this morning - I was intrigued by their non interest in the fed but I have realized they stay clear of the feeding area and as soon as the feed starts to sink they dive and swim under water and out again to fed, when the water is clear we see them under the other ducks and swans.

Take Care
