Coot [Fulica atra]

A bad day, it drizzled all day long, whinge whinge. Here is one from my magic bag!

  3. LOVE those feet. Which I had never noticed before. I may become a foot fetishist - and it is all your fault...

  4. What extraordinary colouring on its feet! And it also looks like its wearing a little white bonnet on its head! :)

  5. Blässhühner - Eurasian coots - we have many here in our parks along the small river Tauber.
    But I never took such detailed photos of that small chick!

    "This is a noisy bird with a wide repertoire of crackling, explosive, or trumpeting calls, often given at night."

  9. Your magic bag is bottomless! I like the feet on coots, moorhens and swamphens (gallinules). Your Coots seem paler than ours which is interesting.
