Coots have massive feet!!

Monday, 29 June 2015

We are back on BB which is still moored at Packet Boat Marina but have had a trip into London and also a few days back home. Simon & Deb's gave us and Dee and Mike tickets to see Fleetwood Mac at the O2 for last Wednesday. They were fantastic and various band members were on stage for the whole of the 2 1/2 hour session.

We set off tomorrow morning for our trip back up the Grand Union to our home mooring at Calcutt- and its only 90 miles and 94 locks away which is about 12 days at 5 hours per day!- providing the forecasted heatwave doesn't slow us down too much.

There are a pair of Coots with young in the marina which strut around as if they own the place - which does make it easy to see the size of their feet which enables them to walk over the weeds and lily pads in this area. Their call sounds like an old broken motor horn.

BB's mooing at Packet Boat Marina which makes an ideal secure base with West Drayton Station only a 20 minute walk away .
