The Coot family
I can’t find out the correct name for the young coots so have decided to call them cootlings or coatings as the auto spell check insists on as a replacement.
Whatever their proper name is they are absolutely adorable and very very noisy!
very cute
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a coot. Great pictures.
That second photo showing the young one and the adult is fascinating – great contrasts in colour and texture, from the smooth adult to the fuzzy, spiky young one. Just captures something about teenagers!
Lovely photos!
sweet
I love the second picture.
