Coot Fight

I serendipitously came across the memorial fountain to Diana Princess of Wales while wending my way round the Serpentine. Even in winter the central London park is alive with ducks, geese, cormorants etc. Later that day after further bipedal effort I ended up at Regents Park. The whitewashed terraced housing round about it is remarkable and evocative of the good old days of empire. There happened to be a major ruckus in the pond out front though that challenged directly the decorum of this fine London neighbourhood. Whatever possessed the coots to attack each other I know not but it was amusing to see them lean back in the water on their wings (water wings) and kick at each other with their feet.
