Hello Paul,

Nice picture. I see these things happen a lot of times but always on the wrong moments (-:
So no picture of it yet. Two days ago there was a coot who wants to attack me, because of his wife and kids which I was approaching to close according to him.
May be I'll post this one one of these days.

Fantastic moment in time capture-the light looks abit grey and flat which is a shame as abit more and the eye would have been more visible but hey great as is

Wow...what a fantastic action shot.
I see a lot of halo effect round the birds on my monitor though.

Tom's right - tidy that up a bit (horizon's crooked for a start) and send it in. Best Coot fight shot I've ever seen - brilliant.
