coots - with young

[SmartWombat]

You've seen almost enough of these by now, I'm sure.
I was able to get the GH-1 down almost at water level (I'm not that brave to get it closer) and use the articulated screen for the reed&weed shots.

As you can see they're still breeding; with a couple of chicks in the ugly redhead stage, most in the adolescent grey plumage, and a few getting their white head marking.

pretty cool to see all those ages together.
