    The only sharp picture I got with the young Coot calling was through the reeds. The catch-light in the reflection is clearer than on the bird itself.

    The water was not deep so the bird could easily reach the plants growing under the surface. It was the favorit feeding ground of this Common Coot. The bird was not disturbed by my presence so I could take a few photos.
