17: Coot at the Lagoon

Coot at the Hokowhitu Lagoon

In the springtime I visited the Lagoon several times, and was lucky enough to see a coot sitting on a nest, and also to see young coot just hatched. Today I saw quite a few coot- some were slightly smaller and I imagine they are the babies from springtime. I am always fascinated by their feet ;-)

  2. Thanks Cherryl. I am loving taking these photographs in the summer sunshine. I imagine I will find it harder in the winter months!

  3. I had lunch with Cherryl today. Am coming up to Palmerston North for the Inspired Impact conference at the end of the month.

    It would be fun to go out on a photo shoot together!

  4. Good idea Allanah. I think my timing will be fairly flexible then, unless I end up in an LTR position. I will look for your e-mail addy and let you know my phone numbers.
