American Coot (second from left), Lough Gill, 11th November 2014 (Kilian Kelly).
This is about as good a view that pretty much everyone who has gone to see this bird has managed since it was found. Often frustratingly distant, often in windy and/or rainy conditions, or sometimes seemingly absent, presumably feeding or roosting deep in the reed beds which fringe the lake. The small Coot flock of 8 to 10 individuals roams the lake, but is now being seen more often at the east end (from the jetty), but a calm day seems to be one of the requirements for at least some kind of decent view.
