Salute the Coot

Coots have been man's best friend since time began. More loyal than a dog, cuddlier than a kitten and cheekier than a monkey, they even taste good after 55 minutes at gas mark 6. Yet until now, this mighty beast has been tragically neglected on Flickr. Fight back against this tragic injustice and join us as we salute the coot.
