A Red Knobbed Coot

building her nest. It takes ages for them to find and bring all those reeds. I don't know why they need it to be so high though.

lovely shot - and they probably build high to avoid flooding, instinctively

So happy in her/his habitat, lovely shot.

Great detail and I love it being set in the reflections at the base.

Birds work so hard to carry on their family don’t they?

@jgpittenger They certainly do Jane, I could spend hours watching them. In Spring the Weavers start weaving their nests in trees and the Red Bishops in the Reeds. I can't wait ;-)
