THIS picture of a coot was taken at Bee Fold in Atherton by semi-professional photographer Gillian Gerrard.

The 40-year-old, who lives in the town, said: “I have named the photograph Light Lunch.

“You can clearly see the coot trying to enjoy eating a fish in the water.

“I enjoy walking on my days off as a care worker to the elderly.

“I get such joy from spending hours walking looking at the wildlife around me in the hope of getting photographs for all to enjoy.”
