I have never seen this type of action. Then again I've only seen coots when they are in an eagles talons as it is flying off. Excellent behavioral capture here. The coot has one BIG claw foot!
Love it Jeff, Nice low angle and action droplets are all a plus. Looks sort of like a fight to the death.
Great timing on this one. Love that you can see both of their feet.
Great shot, but do we really know those are the coots' feet?
Maybe they were mating and its a conservative moor hen pushing them apart, from below.
Hey, I'm just saying...
Great action and pose on both. Yes, Coot's feet look like that, discolored sausage links :)
Good image, thanks for sharing it!
This must be one of the coolest pictures I've seen in a long time. It looks like they are tearing each others hearts out. Thx for sharing.
Very cool! I like the poses captured. Looks like kickboxing practice. :)
the timing and the image are very good.
I think only the birds breasts are a bit bright?
Well done. Love the two near-perfect head angles best of all.
later and love, artie
ps: Nikolay: did you mean breasts or bills look to light???

I've seen this type of interaction a number of times, but have never been fortunate enough to photograph it. This is very nicely done.
Great action picture!. Perfect timing. I have seen coots fighting many times, but I have never seen anything like that!!
:))
indeed a nice capture.
perhaps, lower angle wud have made it a killer image ...

Great work, Jeff. This is an excellent action image. As mentioned, both head angles are very close to perfect. Great detail in the subjects.
