The poor thing has got a long breeding season ahead of him...so no wonder he looks fed-up!;) He has my sympathy:-O Good one Tilly :t::t::t:
 
LOL, Tilly g/f!!! :-O If you see the Coot again, advise him to make the next one in a not so open place... intimacy is very necessary!!! o:D

Very well seen, and a lovely picture, g/f, thanks for the giggles too!!! :t: :t: :clap:
 
Some snowdrops out at the top of my garden Tilly...better days must surely be!!!! Hope the coot cheers up too!!

Yes, I think we are all suffering from seasonal affective disorder.

I'm amazed that their nests would be this much in the open so I hope he thinks about rebuilding elsewhere.
