I thought I saw a Coot disappearing into the rushes on the opposite side to where the other one was clearly visible. I was sitting patiently in the Hide hoping it would show itself when suddenly the other one quickly shot off into the undergrowth. I soon found out why - a couple of people had walked out onto the bridge. This really brought home to me why we were to take it down the next day!
No time to hunt for insects etc. on this occasion but Snowflake is in flower by the gate SC210694 ( garden version)

| A garden escape, Snowflake ( and plenty of Cleavers coming through too) |

| Are you bored with my Coot photos? They look the same every time, don't they? |
