Call me heartless but, when I first noticed this Coot in Cardiff Bay yesterday, I laughed out loud. Then I felt ashamed of laughing and couldn’t help but admire how tenacious the bird was. Despite having something wrong with its left leg, it was swimming strongly, and clearly not letting its disability limit its determination to get where it was going.
Those massive out-of-scale feet always make me laugh out loud.

True, Andy. Considering how well the bird was swimming, I got the feeling this wasn’t a recent injury and it had learnt how to cope with the situation.
