Super catch Harshad .love watching these coots do that ,water splashing around bird adds to the sence of birds motion

[Luis Villablanca]

Very nice action shot. That was good timing, I usually miss the moment when our coots are running.
Is that an Eurasian Coot?

Is that an Eurasian Coot?

This is Common Coot ( Fulica atra )

[Tony Whitehead]

Super pose, Harshad - has a real mean look in the eye:) Wondering about a touch of CCW rotation?

[Ofer Levy]

Awesome action shot!! Agree with Tony regarding a slight CCW rotation. Would consider cropping a bit off the top to make this a pano.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Makes you wonder who was running in front of him. Chances are, another coot? :)

[James Salywoda]

Excellent bit of action captured Harshad I love the splashing water and the lowered head on the Coot.

[Lise De Serres]

What a great dynamic in this photo, love the angle of the head and all the splashes give a great sense of speed!! Very well captured Harshad!
