  3. 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.

  4. Thank you Professor.

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

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