This tranquil image captures a moment of solitude, featuring a Eurasian coot, Fulica atra, nestled securely on its nest amid a serene pond. The nest is an assemblage of algae, twigs, and pond debris, reflecting the birds resourcefulness in using available materials. The coots glossy black plumage and distinctive white facial shield stand out against the soft, muted tones of the surrounding water and vegetation, creating a striking contrast. The surrounding algae strewn water hints at a rich, albeit hidden, ecosystem below the surface. Nesting Fowl Solitude. High quality photo
