Bigfoot bird.

Bigfoot bird.

I've been told that this is a coot (probably a youngster) although it doesn't have the distinctive "bald patch" normally seen on coots and (according to Wikipedia) they also have red eyes. Photographed on the Leeds-Liverpool canal near the town of Burnley in the North-West of England.

Camera: Nikon D300s
Lens: Samyang 135mm f2.0
Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

Thanks for the "fave" Pam. This part of the canal is close to a number of industrial units (some derelict) and unfortunately a lot of their rubbish ends up in the canal.
