I compiled this video in 2001, unfortunately I have mislaid the original recording. The only remaining part is the pink Grasshopper, which is a subject of another of my videos on Vimeo.

This video was compiled as a screen saver, and used in the reception area of my previous employer IN2work, I changed the logo slightly to reflect the content.

Unfortunately the company closed in November 2003, freeing me up for further opportunities as they say, or in a word, redundancy.

This video shows well the frenzied feeding activities performed by both Coot parents for these adorable, ever hungry little Coot chics.

Video was shot over a period of 6 weeks at two locations in Staffordshire UK.

Keen, the close-up shots of the parent coots diving and feeding the baby chicks on the water are really first class, then some nice footage of the juvenile coots followed by those colourful drakes - a super video with a very pleasant, fitting and unobtrusive soundtrack, thanks for posting it on vimeo, I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the Bouquet 4Moorhens2. Coming from yourself I take your comments as a compliment indeed.

Apart from a shortened version on YouTube, this video has been gathreing dust so to speak for nearly five years.

Thanks for taking time out to view and, even more so, for the complimentary comments.

May your iris and all that.
