The tree in the water turned out not to be helping my images in the way that I thought it would. I made a black and white conversion here because the colour wasn't doing anything for the image.
Finally, I have learned the difference between a Coot and a Moorhen and can identify each with confidence. I am slow to learn due to very poor memory for facts.
This chap was watching his partner sat on her nest and seemed to be keeping an eye on her for a very long time.
No new photos these last two days - very busy, miserable weather etc etc.
This shot really appeals to me for some reason- it has almost a lonely feel- maybe that's the black and white, or the fact that there's only one bird- at any rate, it really grabs me! fav
Love this composition, and his pose (I'm sure he's posing for you!). The way I remember it is using the colours - so it's a white coot (the repeated one syllable ending in T...)
