Purrr~~~ Purr ~~~... there I was taking my usual catwalk with my D Eye taking advantage of the sun shining brightly yesterday thinking I'd go birding but alas! ... ~~ no birds in sight. I could hear them but they've gone AWOL and all tucked in their nest I suppose.
Passing by that man made mere beside the bike path I heard them cooting...
"Coot..coot ..."
...volunteering to be my models. Sure why not ... I'm not really a fan of coots though I admire them being able to walk on water like Jesus and all. I've seen them pretty aggressive on ducks and other fowls so I wasn't sure it's a good idea to have them. Pecking seems to be a reflex on those and the only fowls that seem to intimidate them are the lovely swans.
On the other hand, what could go wrong? He and his mate swam towards me leaving a trail of ripples that form a V line - yeah that's one thing more I find awesome about coots. How do they do that? This two were like ..."were on a synchronized swimming" like ..seriously?.
He ~~ ...must be metro sexual cause look, he's even checked his feathers out on that murky water reflection.
"Damn, I look hot, don't you think?"
... he asked out loud .. course, I had to agree for I have not much subject in sight.
"So, how's this?"
... he asked, giving me a side view.
"Not bad.." said I. "Wait.. did you just drool?"
(Yuck! thought I ..)
"course ... you've got bread that bag for me later yeah?"
Hmm.. thought I .. not sure you can chew nor enjoy doing that on bubble wraps.
" Would you please get out of the water ?
I asked and he gave in ... Yey! ^____^
"Uhmmm... am missing a foot Mr. Coot. Please come closer ..."
"Wait! Uhmm... that's a good angle .. and you're pretty much in a great shape Mr. Coot but I'd like to take more than just your "bam - bam" please ."
Are you a Chinese? Care to explain what "bam -bam" means? ..though you've probably already figured it out right?
"How about this? Am eating weed awesome huh? 'bet ya' can't do that!"
"Would you please give me a daring look?"
.. sighs.. daring, not idiotic ..
Yeah! .. that's much better ...
"So, are we done now? Can we have that bread now?"
"Uhmm... I don't know how to explain this to you but you see I didn't promise you any bread Mr. Coot ... you cooted and I just stood here thinking you volunteered for this photo shoot .. Wait! Where are you goin'?"
"No bread?! What? You bloody ... bloody you! No bread no photo shoot!"
Yelled he; as he leave me there feeling my cheeks turning red at the look the humans on bike passing by were giving me probably for photographing a common coot ..
"Very well then Mr. Coot, thank you!"
"Boo ~~~ Booo ~"
Wait what? Since when did coots learn to boo?

I am confused to start from where to comment on your post, of course the bird that you show make me amazed, and I am also confused, can you talk to the bird from heart to heart so that he understands you? heheh, everything can happen maybe even without cause
ah ah nice post english and the coots did he answer you ?? ;)
Have a nice day!
I love your narrative. You have a great creative mind.
They are beautiful, have not seen them here in Norway.
Like your text you add those pictures.
They become as you understand what they mean and talk about and it all becomes more interesting to see reading with your opinion in your word.
Just love it when you translate for the birds @englishtchrivy

hahaha sure seems like it !By the way enjoyed Mr COOT's story !
Ahahaaa your story made my day 😁😂😂😊. Mr.Coot is a real model, but he should be more polite 😁😂. It looks like : no money - no honey 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
That's why i love animals, they are very funny:)))
hahaha thanks
yeah .. seems like everything has a price now really :D
Mr. Coot would be a very cool businessman 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These things are not seen every day, getting some animals to come to the surface and pose for the photo is a reason to celebrate.
The shots that this beautiful specimen allowed you is incredible! It's true you did not promise bread! but because he behaves very well, he thinks he should take it another day. congratulations for the beautiful iamgenes you have taken.
I admire the power of communication you have with animals.
I wish you a wonderful day dear friend @englishtchrivy
shhhh.. between you and me I have no such super power :D
Such a beautiful animal and you captured them so well!
lovely animals and amazing photos , thank you .
thanks @bxt
btw, just in case you haven't checked I sent you a reply on your query in the chat :D
Love your photos of the coots and your dialogue! So cute!
thank you
good photo
Exquisite black birds and photo shoots I applaud extraordinary 👍
Some really great and epic shots wow
"He ~~ ...must be metro sexual cause look, he's even checked his feathers out on that murky water reflection." "Damn, I look hot, don't you think?" ..Haha!! I laughed my socks off reading that! :D
This is a cool story, !!!, how you catch it, how far you take the picture
I have never seen that bird! I like to see it in your post :) the cute part of the beak
Surely this is a quiet soul, if they know when we feel the nature of pleasure. They only play in the water because that's the habitat.
First time i see these creatures
a photo shoot of a coot
Yes, it's very fun! I enjoyed Your photo shoot Coots. I laughed a lot. It's amazing how you have voiced Your dialogue with them. They are well posed for You. I liked the scene where daring look.haha. They obviously did not expect that will not get a reward in the form of bread. haha . I liked the last frame where he goes back in the water, shouting: "no bread? but then there is no photoshoot ! ". Thank you for such emotional pictures. With the help of them You accurately able to convey the story of Your meeting with the Coots. @englishtchrivy, thanks for a fun story in pictures.
Good luck 😊😊😊😊

I need your help. I have seen some photos in your post. In the past few weeks I have bought a camera because I want to get interesting photos. Photo quality is better, but I'm not interested in seeing it. Is there a way to create beautiful photos?
