Lovely detail Guy especially in the larger image. Good catchlight in the eye too. I find Coots extremely difficult to photograph to get the blacks and whites looking right but you have done an excellent job here. :wavey:

I love coots! Great eye on this one and exposure spot on. Lovely wing spread too. I would have preferred not to have the white patch in the background, but not a lot you could do there.

Guy,

Well handled exposure. Love the detail in the eye. I can't decide if it needs some cw rotation to straighten up the far bank.
