Coot with very young chicks

Coot with very young chicks

One of a pair of coots with very young chicks on the Birmingham Canal. Three chicks, and one of the birds sitting on the nest possibly brooding an as yet unhatched egg or eggs.

The distinctive nest recycling rubbish thrown in the canal had been noted only one or two days previously by Agnus Dickie from the Smestow Valley birders.
