Hola Bob una buena toma de esta Focha,no se que decirte pero por estas latitudes alguna Fochas si que empiezan a confeccinar los nidos,solo tendras que seguir durante unas dias el proceso y vcreo que tendras la respuesta.Un abrazo
It seems that it might not be too early. And the coot would know - better than us anyway. A be prepared sort of bird - and beautiful with it. Though that nest (if nest it is) looks as if rather a lot of padding will be necessary. Or they breed coots tough...
Bob,
ReplyDeleteNão tenho palavras para adjectivar as suas fotos: Puro encantamento!
Apaixonantes. Maravilhosas.
Abraço!
It looks a bit thorny for a nest. Coots know best.

Dimi...
I think it's nestling Dimi.
DeleteMaybe they are just practicing. Some birds do that and other build a nest early to entice the female.

ReplyDeleteIt produces 2-3 per year eggs, so it can be nesting.
DeleteWow, it looks as though the white shield is painted on!
