Eurasian coot, Burgers Zoo, Netherlands - 4393

The Eurasian coot, also known as coot (Dutch: Meerkoet) with young in Burgers Zoo in the Netherlands.
This Coot builds a nest of dead reeds or grasses, but also pieces of paper or plastic near the water's edge or on underwater obstacles protruding from the water, laying up to 10 eggs, sometimes 2 or 3 times per season. Usually only a few young survive. They are frequent prey for birds such as herons and gulls.
Chick mortality occurs mainly due to starvation rather than predation. Most chicks died in the first 10 days after hatching, when they are most dependent on adults for food. Coots can be very brutal to their own young under pressure such as the lack of food.
