Coot on the run - Sprintande sothöna
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.

Finally, they have arrived. I´m sure I spotted five birds but there were probably six. Three pairs that is! Last year was a bad one as no young was hatched due to the drought. Hopefully that will not happen this season.

This beauty finally arrived. Today I spotted 2 pairs in the little lake.
You need both light and shadows to create contrast.
