Not often you are able to get some shots of the coots chase on water. Was lucky this time.

I really was wondering what they were thinking. First a very late point in time for nesting. Chicks should be hatched by now. And then, such a narrow nest on the water surface. The egg is probably in contact with the water. Last year a pair, maybe these two, built a similar nest as this. It was abandoned after a week. I hope this will be more lucky.

I find it so amusing when they walk over the water like this!
ReplyDeleteThe nest is only built on so little branch and I see an egg as the nests have is impressive again and again!
These are wonderful shots of these!
Have a nice weekend, Elke
Hello. I hope they get chicks...
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!
Hello, wonderful sightings of the Grebe and Coot. The Horned Grebe is a beautiful bird. Great photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend! PS, thanks for the comment and visit.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a real shame if the grebes fail to breed two years in a row. Perhaps each time the nest was constructed by a pair of young birds nesting for the first time.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of water birds! Action is great!
ReplyDeleteLove the coot! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteAmazing clicks
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos.
ReplyDeleteThe coot walking over the water is great, I have been trying for years but it always fails.
Best regards Irma
I hope the nest is successful this year! Loved 'watching' the coot.
ReplyDeleteI want to send along my thanks for your participation this week at IRBB.
amazing to see the coot running across the water! Lovely photos of the nesting grebes too
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos! I really like the Coot "running" on water!
ReplyDeleteHope the nest is OK...that is a worry. but the coot running on the water made me laugh. How lucky to catch that action (to see it at all is fortunate and to capture it by camera even more so!)
ReplyDeleteThe first photo looks like the duck is walking on water.
ReplyDeleteThat nest is so near the water....
