Common Moorhen - last for now
1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4tc, 1/800s, f6.3, iso200, circular polariser.

I have always found these to be very difficult to photograph and I was delighted when this one posed this evening for a short time. I was experimenting with the polariser to see the effect on colours and it does seem to have a positive effect. This is the last of the pond series for a while as I'm off on holiday without a camera :frown: Many thanks for all the comments on the others in the series!

I love all these shots of yours and this is another beauty. It just looks a little bit dark on my monitor, but lovely shot all the same.
