Cute curious coot
This coot (Fulica atra), meerkoet in Dutch, wasn't as shy as its brethren and came to take a look at what I was up to:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/200s
It seems to me no lens is ever long enoug to take photos of wild birds, but this time, things worked out OK at only 300mm.
Thanks for watching!
Good photo @ocrdu i'm following you please follow me and give me upvoted brother
nice shot - i like ducks
I had 200-500 mm..still not enough also...how big we can go 👍🏼😀for wildlife😀
I sometimes see people lugging 1200mm lenses about. I'm far too lazy for that 8-).
That's small locket...😀😅
What s beautiful bird I love the coloring of his head, nice shot! He wanted to check you out and pose for you!😀
Nice one. They are the same coot species that we get way down here in Tasmania.
They are all over! It's a conspiracy!
This little guy has the cutest face. Great capture!
Thank you.
Seems like she's smiling :)
Indeed. Slightly mailcious though, with those red eyes.
