A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

A dull day at Watermead - 19 June 2011

We had walked most of the way round the lakes before Anything presented itself for my camera. Skipper and I had stopped at the picnic table at the south end of the Worcester Crescent lake, when this Coot family started to feed in front of us.

And when Mother Coot ran out of food, down she went again, diving to bring up more.

I dont think her chick was too keen on his mother diving over him/her.
