A Eurasian coot resting on one leg in Derbyshire

This photo captures a Eurasian coot in the wilds of Derbyshire. The bird, standing on one leg, has turned its head just right so that at this angle it’s difficult to identify the coot at a glance. Eurasian coots have a natural distribution across Europe, Asia, North Africa and even Australia.
