Coot feeding the first of many.

Cygnets minus the one which fell off the ledge.

Re: New life etc

A lovely collection, Barr1e - the swan on take-off is another shot (along with, for example, snapping those elusive kingfishers) you have managed that I have yet to accomplish (on the canal at least! - it's a bit easier at a reserve) - well done!

A question for you - I haven't seen any coots for ages. Moorhens everywhere, but no coots. Have you noticed their decline or have they all migrated northwards to your part of Herts?

Re: New life etc

Thanks Ian for popping in and commenting.

We have a number of coots up this end of the canal - I think they heard you had moved out of your posh offices and so moved further west for us to enjoy.

Anne and I have just returned from meeting up with Aussie friends in Paris who are up here cruising for a month or so in southern France, Italy and Malta.

When I have sorted the many snaps taken I'll post some of the pix.
