We went for a walk on Sunday along public footpaths near Hemel Hemsptead. We saw 3 coot hens all had chicks of different ages.
The first one was spotted by chance as she was nesting very quietly among the vegetation.
The second one was swimming next to her six newly hatched chicks. Unfortunately, she had made her nest very close to a large crow rookery.....
And this probably explains why our third coot only had one chick with her as she too was not very far from the crow rookery.
Hope you enjoy the small clip.
