Well spotted and damn well captured too Roger
Thanks Chris & Jan ... I think it's a misacle that they don't do more damage to each otherI love moorhens and coots (well, someone has to........). Such feisty little sods. I once saw four coots having a good scrap (well, three fought and the other watched............) but tucked away in a dark corner where I couldn't get decent shots.
Brilliant shot, Roger. Really well caught
Many thanks for commentingSimply superb, ticks all the boxes for me
Thanks for sharing it
Thank you, appreciate the comment.That's absolutely superb - really great photo!
Cheers KevAn very excellent take Roger
Thanks Keith, would have been great to have them closer but I loved the actionAnother superb action shot to add to your collection Roger.
Yes feisty birds John ... my weather app doesn't show much under 90% rain for next week!Great capture,Roger. I just thought they swam around until, one day, I saw them 'in action'. They really are very aggressive birds. Weather won't be do good next week according to 'Ian on the roof'..Lol

Thank youFabulous capture!
Cheers MickGreat shot, they always squabbling but it usually all over by time you lifted the lens, so you did well to capture them like this
Well caught Roger, some good reflexes there!

All change all round then Robin ... you are right about interference in the natural world, at best they sometimes make up for past mistakes..... I haven't been for a long while. But I went to nearby Lodmoor at the end of January after getting back from Greece photographing Pelicans.
Word-on-the-reeds (as opposed to on-the-street) is that they are planning to dig up Lodmoor for cattle grazing and hence 'rejuvenate' the whole wetland so it, in theory?, regenerates itself. Interfering scientists, eh!? I simply don't know if they are wise to do this but I don't trust what mankind thinks is best for the natural world.
Others have seen and photographed your favourite Bearded Tits at both reserves.
You possibly already know but I have been shooting on Olympus flagship E-M1X Pro system since November. Have sold my much-loved Canon EF 500mm F/4L II and am now selling my 1DX-2 etc.
You going to be posting any of your Pelican shots?
Ok I'll patiently wait..... I have already posted some in the Olympus thread and my Flickr Album of them (17 so far) is building and I was going to post here when more complete. I don't want to hijack your thread with any, even a link.
