More coots. Don't have that many photographs of them because difficult to photograph with light and reflections etc ...

I think it's amazing how close the ducks let you get. Everytime I try to take a duck's picture they always seem to turn away!

It's all to do with silent stalking and not squarking like a bird Sharon :)

That sun feels more like Summer to me Lavender, apart from the August wind! It's all mixed up - rain expected for next week :(

Only a coot with a teapot can make me appear like that.

I can't have a profile picture because it would be the same as JoyEliz's.

I hope 'A Coot' isn't being an egghead about Joy Eliz!

Joy Eliz said...

Oh... So there IS a coot with a teapot... I wonder who that is? *said sarcastically, knowing full well its Egg*

A coot would be lucky to have a profile picture like me - It would be less coot-ish than DeckedoutEggChair. hahahahahha!

We have tons of coots around here... only slightly different looking than yours. More white on their slightly enlongated bills. What funny noises they can make.

Your coots would sound funnier TsDuff because they would have American accents! Heehee.
