EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Steve Young, three mischievous Common Coots are caught red-beaked in a comical squabble over a frozen apple treat. The icy lake on Merseyside, England sets the stage for an epic food fight as these feathered friends jostle and peck at each other to claim their share of the fruity feast. These Eurasian water birds may be small, but they certainly know how to make a big scene! With their vibrant black plumage contrasting against the snowy backdrop, these coots add an extra touch of drama to the freezing winter landscape. Their feisty behavior is on full display as they fiercely defend their territory and assertively demand every last morsel of apple goodness. As temperatures drop and ice blankets the waters, it seems that even nature's creatures can't resist indulging in some frosty fun. These cheeky coots remind us that even during chilly winters, there's always room for a little playfulness and excitement. So next time you find yourself braving the cold weather, take inspiration from these spirited avian antics. Whether it's engaging in friendly banter or enjoying a tasty treat with loved ones, remember to embrace life's simple pleasures – just like our adorable feathered friends here on Merseyside!
