Coot (Fulica atra) Squab, exploring beyond the edges of the reeds. Squab is the term used for coot chicks. Whilst the parent is gathering food the squab is beginning to look for it's own, as its appetite grows with age. Still very young and very dependant on parents. Coots have also been known to kill their own young, usually the youngest of the brood if they have too many to feed successfully, Lancashire, UK
