Hello all just wondered if any of you out in birding land have seen this, been out to Rutland today looking out the mallard hide, my friend matthew and i were observing these two pair of coots when world war 3 struck out, the male (i presume) caught the other male and then started to fight feet against feet then progressed to beaks, the larger coot managed to get the head of the other coot in its beak then got on top of it and pushed the other coot under the water for a few minutes, after a struggle the bird under the water stopped flapping and just floated, i looked at my friend in horror and i just couldnt believe what i had seen, a few others saw it in the hide as well and they had never seen anything like it , Have any of you seen a psycho coot from hell?????
thnx J.D.:eek!:
