Terrific photos Ju :clap3: You could witness possible conflict between those two species and Coots in particular are very aggressive this time of year.

My first sighting of a nesting bird this year - A coot at Attenborough NR

This Heron was too far out to get a close up shot of the nest but we kept seeing movemnt in the nest so their eggs must have already hatched
