Thanks, Paul. I took a lot of less successful photos. There is no trick to bird photography other than patience and luck. It was fortunate that someone had been throwing bread in – very bad for the water – and there was a rock they could sit on. I have never seen coot chicks before and had no idea they had red heads.

I think your photo deserves a prize. It’s very well done. They look a bit like I felt at the weekend after too much alcohol intake.
