Coots usually sit so tightly on their nests that you can’t see their eggs but I just happened to pass this one when s/he was standing up for a stretch and to move the eggs around.

By the time I got my camera out, the bird was almost sitting down again but I was able to count the eight (!) eggs, and to get a closer look at them. Now to watch out for the chicks emerging.
