Coots: the untold story

    Everybody thinks of those head-bobbing coots in the Celery Farm as docile to the point of dopey.

   But as my friend Kevin Watson wrote recently to the Fyke list-serve, he saw "some unsavory characters" near the Warden’s Watch who turned out to be … you know who[m].

    What’s more, my other friend Jerry Barrack caught this wild coot/gull action at the CF recently.

   Dopey? Docile? No way.

   Thanks, guys.

  • Great action shots! From those shots it seem like the Gull was the agressor and that poor old Coot was just trying to defend himself.
