Bonjour
Went to my hide this morning, it was VERY icy...Water rail seem to be everywhere,At least seven different bird came to feed. They was a lot of squabling but these always seem to happen so fast and always in the wrong angle...
This morning I went with my chestwader on as I wanted to photograph water rail eye level.
This is one of the shot.
Taken with the mark 3 at 640 iso and the 300mm f2.8 +1.4 converter.Full frame picture
Bonne journee
Frederic
