And this late in the season they are the most likely of the red maled species I would have thought.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-72535926260417910972012-11-18T22:02:05.247+01:002012-11-18T22:02:05.247+01:00It was.... bulk cooking... so enough pie for tomor...It was.... bulk cooking... so enough pie for tomorrow [or Tooosday... perhaps Wed] and a portion of filling [same pie quantity] for the freezer... so just thaw and top with a suet crust... next time the weather calls for warming comfort food!

Not...Coot or Eurasian Coot [Fulica atra] please... <br />Not American Coot [F. americana] which do not have the white forehead... a white bill only!! They have only visited Europe [twice in 180 years] and both of those made landfall [literally... they were shot] in Eire.<br />You've been using the interUSAnet for identification...<br />For ident. links go to the Links page on Aigronne Wildlife [link at the top of page]... Birdguides or BTO [British Trust for Ornithology] are the best for Birds.... or flickr group "The European Nature and Wildlife Group"<br /><br />The Grebe is Great-crested Grebe [Podiceps cristatus]....<br />The Darters are too small to identify.<br />Grotty day wasn't it? I've been cooking... Steak and Kidney Suet Crust pie... now Pauline's doing Red Cabbage and Apple... I'll find some spuds in about 20 mins.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
