Third time lucky for this Coot!

The coot is on the RSPB Green status list.
Waterbird challenge 2012
Finally after having to constantly rebuild it's nest because of the rising water levels this coot now has at least four chicks in it. This is the third attempt after the first two nests were washed away. As well as feeding itself it is continuously taking weed back to it's family.
UPDATE: 27 July 2012 There are 5 tiny Coot chicks and both parents are feeding them on the water under the cover of overhanging trees.
