Liveaboard boater who visits rural inland dales and small towns of England and Wales on a steel narrowboat. Sometimes folks join me. I (he/him) microblog here about canal-boating life. #nobot

How will this end?
Three coot chicks, still in the black fluffy stage, have lost their parents. They were panic-peeping, tightly grouped and paddling away from a lock.
Other boaters heard from pedestrians that the adults are above the lock with a fourth chick.
After a half hour, the three chicks eventually settled on some reeds (see photo). They have food, but without an adult to protect them they're too young to make it.
