Fighting Coots
Hello

A pair of fighting coots - the one on the left has a beak full of feathers from the one on the right :smile:

D3 + 300 2.8 with 1.7 t/c (510mm)
1/800 sec @ f6.3 ISO 400

cheers for looking

Colin

An excellent behavioural shot Colin with plenty of action here. Love the defensive feet in the air! Great stuff.
