Coot chick

During my brief stop at the artificial island on the way home from work, I was able to spot one little head peeping out from under the nesting Coot.

None of the swan's eggs had hatched yet, as far as I could tell when it briefly stood up to change its position on the nest. My guess is that it shouldn't be too much longer though.

Thanks very much for all the comments on yesterday's Magpie blip. As always, they are very much appreciated. I apologise for not being able to comment on other journals as much as I would like to.
