I was lost in France...

This big fella accounts for 3 of the 4 options in this section - it was in France, he would have come from an escape and he's non-indigenous.

It appears to be a Coypu - they have them in that area apparently. It's a small pond in the Northern half of France and a little Yorkshire terrier was in the only set of bushes that go up to the water's edge. I thought that she was after the Moorhen and its baby that were there, but suddenly we saw a head in the middle of the pond, and she had chased it out. I pan across to show the reason for the Coypu's swim

There are also a couple of stills which I will post.

Here are a couple of piccies of the Coypu and one of his frustrated chaser.

They are lovely clips and the video is really good.
Well done.

Thames valley birds - Field trip and visit photo threads Been somewhere nice in the UK, spent a day by the river, or nature reserve, put your thread here. It doesn't matter is some photos are duplicated in dedicated sections. I was lost in France...
