Hi Graham and Mitch!
Graham, glad you had a good day! Great photos! Love the one of the little grebe. I would've liked to see the coot young who thought it was a tree creeper!
See you soon!

Hi Louise,
Here you go!
Brilliant! I do enjoy watching coots, they are rather comical sometimes! Great birds they are.
Nice shots, Graham. Nine Green Sands! The tree-climber is not a Coot but a young Moorhen :)
