𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): Two Eurasian coots, presumably males, are fiercely fighting, clashing and pushing each other with their feet while flapping their wings to maintain their position. These fights serve to establish hierarchy, choose a mate, and secure the safest nesting site. The image is from a distance and not very clear. It was taken from a public bird hide on the shore of one of the lagoons in the complex. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Dos fochas, presuntamente machos, pelean con ferocidad enfrentándose la una a la otra empujándose con sus patas, mientras aletean para mantener la posición. Estos combates sirven para establecer la jerarquía, elegir pareja y tener el sitio más seguro donde construir el nido. La imagen es muy lejana y no lo suficientemente nítida. Fue tomada desde un observatorio público de aves que hay a la orilla de una de las lagunas del complejo.

L'altre dia passejant amb Martí vaig tindre la sort de poder vore este exemplar de fotja en una séquia al que no li va molestar una bona sessió de fotos.

A coot on a branch in the water, tufted duck top right.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections and I have a #eurasiancoot or #Fulicaatra to show. The sky was an odd colour that evening. Coots are obsessively territorial and very vocal. They like to run across the surface of the water chasing each other. #birds #EastCoastKin #ukbirding #birdphotography

#BirdOfTheDay du jour : #Attitude. J'aime bien l'expression de cette foulque macroule qui venait de faire fuir une poule d'eau qui s'approchait trop près de son poussin, on dirait qu'elle a la satisfaction du devoir accompli.

It may be a small step for some, but for others it is a whole new world🖤

To see is a Common coot with chicks

Have a good start in the new day☕🖖

Eurasian coot in the water. It is mostly black with a white stripe in the middle of its head and a white beak. It is swimming and facing left. Its head from the neck up is reflected in the water.

An adult Eurasian coot. "It is largely black except for the white bill and frontal shield (which gives rise to the phrase "as bald as a coot", in use as early as 1430)" Wikipedia. I didn't know that! 😁

The same bird as in the previous photo but from a different angle 😍

Two of the stills I took on my phone of the parent bird. It might be either sex as they sometimes split the brood between them #EurasianCoot #CommonCoot #FulicaAtra | #Kent #England | #birdsoftheworld #birds

I was pleased that I managed to capture this coot taking time out to have a preen and a stretch on my visit to the allotment this afternoon 😍 Heavily cropped to try and preserve the details, so apologies for the bad framing! 😊 #EurasianCoot #FulicaAtra #Allotments #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld

I was wrong (again!) 🙂 When I looked across at the parent bird (Coots often split the parenting between them after the chicks leave the nest) two more had emerged, so four had survived! 👍 #EurasianCoot #FulicaAtra #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld #birds Video taken 03/07/25

The plaintive calls of this young coot(?) accompanied my brief visit to the allotment this afternoon. It looks young to be on its own, so I trust it found it's way back to it's parent🤞 #EurasianCoot #FulicaAtra #Kent #England #birdsoftheworld #birds

This one’s for you both. I’m fairly confident it’s an Eagle… and its nest.

Only joking 😆

#Coot (I hope!)

A nest is there every year, in the exact same spot. I don’t know much else sorry 🙏🏼 #learning

#birdphotography #FulicaAtra #birds

Lots of stress.
Trying to get my work done before the Public holiday.

So I'll just wave by and leave a cute little coot chick here.

Common Coots always look a bit disheveled before they transform into their final beauty.🖤
Do you also think so?

Have a great start☕🖖

Let's see what the new week brings.
Together with these beautiful common coot.

Today we're swimming under palm trees.
A day off at the pool.🍹

Jo si fora eixa fotja no em fiaria molt de la garsa reial que quan està tan queta és que està tramant alguna malifeta.

I'm always amazed at how oversized the feet of a tiny Eurasian coot are.
Do you also find this very surprising?
