Wimbledon Park: Brazen Behaviour

Cockier a coot in large.

"Struggled to choose..." yada yada...
LOTS of conflict at Wimbledon Park today. I was there for about an hour, and (at least) four separate loaves of bread were thrown to the birds...
It was bright and sunny, and the sun was low, so there was fun light for very fast shutter speeds, and lots of splashy action to point the camera at.

Brazen behaviour:
Coots (first and foremost...): mouthful, always in the thick of it
Swans: muscling in
Black-headed gulls: V for victory?, diving, diving deep, escalating problems
Peaceful interludes:
Swans: Adorable preener, Reflective preener, Eyeing me up
Pochard: Pensive, Pottering
Tufted Duck: Conducting
