I'm going to see what it's like at the Forest of Dean, if it not raining, it seems I haven't been there for a long long time. Well, I think so, ha ha ha.
Hi Bob, Glad to see you are feeling up to going out in the Forest of Dean, so the cold is going away. Super images of the dear Coot, they always appear to be squabbling over something. It won't be that long before they start building nests. All the best, John
Hello Bob, coots and Moorhens are great photographic subjects, always on the move! Your photos are really lovely, the one feeding the other!! All the best, and take care :)
Hi Bob. I hope your visit to the Forest of Dean went well - it's good to hear that you are feeling well enough to get out again. Delightful images of the Coots. Those birds almost look amorous, rather than aggressive!
I guess it takes one old coot to know another!
ReplyDeleteBob, your pictures are as always, absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteAre they courting?
