I'm guessing at the species based on where I saw this coot.

Thanks All. Cindy, it wasn't floating so there must have been some structure under it, but I don't know what.
Nice series, Ava! Did she build the nest on a small dirt island or is it floating?
Lovely series, love the colour on #3 :)
Thank you Ava. I thought the leg was a little chick ha ha
The third picture is just the mom off the nest. I missed the chance to get a picture of the eggs she was sitting on. On was on a little bridge over a canal and she had made her nest just below the bridge.
Hi Ava, what is it in the third photo? A chick? How could you get close to the nest?
Lovely series, Ava. I used to watch the coots living in a canal near my home in Amsterdam and always liked them.
