The Peckham Rye Park heron was eyeing up two quite large cootlets on Sunday.
Their parents were swimming around them and presumably trying to protect them.
We couldn't understand why the coots didn't swim off, but as they were under a large tree branch, maybe the heron would have been better able to catch one of the chicks in open water.
It eventually gave up and flew off. Crikey they have vicious pointy beaks, herons! Is it for spearing fish?
