Parental care (coots)

6 June 2024 by David
Parental care (coots)

A West Park coot chick, by now quite well grown. Big enough to forage for itself. But as it swam along by the bank of the lake, one of the parents was still sticking with it. It was getting a mouthful of food for itself, then being given a mouthful by the parent; then repeat.
