    Lovely Image Trevor,Coot's seem to be over looked these days.
    Just goes to show,good bird equals good shot.

    Thanks John.
    The Coot is not so forward as the Moorhens at Par and remains hidden quite a lot. Not the easiest of wildfowl to get a good photograph of...so I have to be happy with this one. I think black faced birds are also difficult...probably because you cannot see the eyes unless the photograph is above average. Just my theory.

    Thank you Professor.

    I would love to have your Green Woodpeckers in my back garden. I have not seen one yet.

    Hi Trevor,I think it's the light direction which helps capture the eye .
