I'm glad they're back Michael.

Not realising it was unusual, I didn't report my sighting of coots breeding last year Here are photos taken on the 7th Nov 2010 at Dunlop Ponds, of a pair with 9 young.

Daryl reports having seen a smaller clutch on Fassifern Pond at about the same time.

G'day All,

Observed a Eurasian Coot with three small chicks on Fassifern Pond early this morning (5 Nov). I note that the COG site has them as breeding "very occasionally". Guess this is one of those occasions,
