Another great BIF Axel. No idea how you get such wonderful details shooting at 1200mm with a 2x TC. Are you hand holding these at 1200mm?

Don't see them flying much- great view, especially of those amazing feet! Excellent, as usual.:)

Great flight shot. It's not easy to get these in flight. I tried Eurasian coots and so far without a good flight shot. They don't seem to fly a lot and only over short distances.
