Coot chick swimming, Canal by Fowlers Park

Coot chick swimming

Fluffy young coot swimming in the Birmingham Canal by Fowlers Park, back in July 2014.

I must have been taking lots of shots of young birds around then, not to have posted these pictures at the time.

One photo shows this chick in the background, and the members of a neighbouring coot family – adults and somewhat more mature chicks – close to the water’s edge.
