adult distress call.
Observation details
Incredible behaviour witnessed regarding distress call from adult bird. While at Teal Hide I could hear the distress call of an adult bird coming from a reedy area. Within around twenty seconds six other adults appeared on scene from other areas of the reserve to gang up and attack an adult Coot. The adult Coot was seen to be carrying a dead juvenile Little Grebe in its beak. The Little Grebes continued their attack until the Coot was finally driven away. The Grebes then dispersed from the area.
