A Eurasian Coot darts upon the face of the water, food in mouth, off to some location where it may be able to consume in peace.

Whilst I think this would have been better if the head was in focus, I haven’t captured a photo of a Eurasian Coot running at this angle before and I’m pretty happy with the result.

You get a good idea of the bird’s motion, where its going, its speed and how it moves.

I like how the water is impacted. It makes for a nice contrast between it and the still water.

I hope you enjoy.
