Why do they drown them Sue?

I did have a look too. Seems if you nag mum it has serious consequences in the coot world. Apparently they have to incubate many eggs to overcome the risk of freezing so they have to manage the excess. Seems they also push eggs out of the nest too. Tough gig being a coot mama.
