WILLD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Coot parents feeding chicks

This is a Coot which I photographed some time ago although I really made this post to show you the video.



Below is the video which Eileen, my friend from the Isle of Wight, gave me to use in one of my posts of parents feeding their 2 chicks.  I think they are cute although I cannot  say beautiful.

I can be accessed at

I hope you enjoyed the VIDEO.

  2. The coot video is adorable!!! The chick almost looks like a tiny vulture, because he doesn't have much hair on his head yet!

  3. Great photo and video. The little ones are so well hidden in among the rushes.

  4. Such an interesting bird. In the first shot the adult almost looks like a wooden decoy. What a fun video of the mama and baby. I did enjoy it.
