Coot Chick

1D Mk iv, 600mm f4 x 1.4, 1/800s, f7.1, iso 200.

I've watched these every spring for a few years, but the parents have never brought them to my usual low level spot. I had to give in and move - but I'm happy with the result!

Lovely detail on the large version, Ian. I think I would be happy with this as well.

Very nice Ian. If I was to be very picky I would say it's a shame about the darker patch of water behind the bird's head, but a lovely image nevertheless.
