  2. I guess we will be seeing much more of these 'baldy' types over the next month or two John. Punch ups all around.

  6. Indeed he is - its a state that comes to many of us!

    I always through these were one of the crosses birds in the UK - more anger per gram than most.

    Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

    1. Thanks Stewart!
      They are aggressive little blighters, aren't they!? I have seen scraps break out between 3 or 4 different birds, normally males, as the females look on wondering what all the fuss is about! :)

  7. Great capture John, I love how you caught the water droplets coming from its beak. It has a bit of an evil look in its eye...probably planning its next squabble ;-)

      Yes, there was another Coot in the vicinity, it probably went and picked on that one!
