Coot in Reeds Greetings Card

Coot in Reeds Greetings Card

The Coot is identifiable by its distinctive white beak and ‘shield’ against the rest of its body which is all black.  That beak and shield have earned it the title ‘bald’ (as in “bald as a coot”).  Its feet appear webbed due to flaps of skin on the toes and they seem disproportionate to its body, as shown in this illustration.  It is a messy nester and can be aggressive towards other birds.

Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Coot in Reeds greetings card is part of his Wildfowl and Wetland Birds range.  All Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life.  His cards are printed locally (he’s a Yorkshireman in exile, now to be found in Northumberland) and the production of them supports many small businesses.
