TITLE:  Coot chase

INFO: "Another time in the Tern Hide and Coots were nearby again with the possibility of more splash-filled action - calm conditions with smooth water so also maybe some reflections to work with.

These two had begun their slow swimming pursuit from the left out of the inlet south-west of the hide and I just got on to them as a proper flapping chase started across the frame. However they then turned in towards the hide just as I started shooting and it was just a matter a trying to keep them in frame and hope the autofocus got something - here, fortunately, the chasing Coot is nice and sharp and has a great pose and look of aggressive intent, and the chased Coot isn't too off-focus either, so a nice dynamic image."
