A Most Unusual Coot...

1Ds m2, 400/2.8 + 1.4, Gitzo 3530 + BWG.
ISO200, 1/800 @ f8,
Lightroom 3, sharpen for web in Elements 10.
Slight crop to correct for a slightly wonky horizon..

Hi,

Our unusual Coot... A leucistic example, at first very shy and stayed well away, but over time became more confiding and approached close enough for some good full frame images...


All the best

Phil

I've never seen one with as much white as this, well caught, Phil.
