The Frozen World (7) : Coots
It was a pleasure to see these Eurasian Coots walking and sliding on the ice.
In the present bitter cold weather however, many Coots become winter victim and die of starvation.

Funny, the middle one seems to be skating...The light is very nice, it brings out textures on the birds.
Greetings,
Alfred.

Ein feines Foto der Blässhühnchen auf dem Eis, Mark, gut gelungen die Belichtung des schwarzen Gefieders.Wenn alles zufriert wird es schwierig für sie, hier bei uns weichen sie dann auf größere Flüße aus.

A really great capture - amazingly well placed and frozen in their usually frantic actions. The coots her look slightly different.greetings, Adele

This is a beautiful shot. It is interesting how different these coots are to the Redknobbed ones that we get in South AfricaIt is a pity that they starve in the winter, but I suppose that is part of natures way
