The Riverside


A few savoured moments of relaxation by the River Avon at the weekend - watching coots and swans protect and nurture their young.  I had never before seen a tiny coot and was amazed by its colourful  feathers and bright red bald head.  For such a tiny thing it used so much energy rushing after its mother who was continually diving down and bringing up weed presumably full of edible titbits!
