Here is some video I took a couple of years ago, one evening in Bedfords park, of a mallard mother looking after her brood and being very tolerant of a coot. The next day I saw a Havering council tractor plough right across this corner of the lake over this nest. Thankfully the family had moved away beforehand.

More from Bushy Park, this time the the coots on the Model Boating Pond, which as you will see was of no use to model boaters that day. In fact pretty much the whole lake was covered in ice, but the coots, with their large feet, didn't seem to troubled

About 3 weeks ago as part of my long post exam tour of the parks of Romford I wandered through Raphaels park and photographed a coot feeding its chicks(see here, second photo down).
