Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Lost Coot on Green Lanes
I was rather surprised when going to catch a bus outside Iceland to find one of my fellow queuers was a coot! It seemed unharmed and largely unconcerned about being on Green Lanes (but then if you've ever seen a coot fight you'll know they are as hard as nails).
I can only assume that the storm confused it and it got lost. Or maybe it just fancied finding out what lies beyond the New River.
By the way look at the amazing feet that coots have.

Probably shopping around, what with rising bills..
Sorry - I'll get my coot!

My other half just correctly identified the location of the photo as Iceland. So this at the heart of Harringay, right on Green Lanes, quite some way from any part of the New River. It is a mystery what he/she was doing there.

It’s not that far from the New River at Warham. The storm may have confused it but it is highly unusual to see a bird like the coot away from the waterways
