Strange Feet

Haven't had a close up look at the feet of a Eurasian Coot before and was amazed at the size and structure. Maybe it's just me :-)

All very clear photographs Rick. I've noticed the feet are lobed not webbed like a duck.These birds are also responsible for the saying “as bald as a coot”.

Nice photos. Really show the size of the feet. I have noticed there feet are very disproportional to their body. I find that with all the lilley walkers as I call them.
