another old friend i havent saw in a while @Danno

i drove tight to the side of the dirt road to shot the first 2 shots, i got to about 8 ft from him, he was bouncing around fur and tail were up, tail was pointing the other way, then i spotted one on the passenger mirror walking down the side of the car, less than a foot away, lucky i never got sprayed, the last 3 is another one the road out.

They are good shots Roy.... but you are still crazy to get that close. I still remember my Dad's 53 Chevy got to close with us in the car and he had to park the car a 1/4 mile from the house for a week. :encouragement::loyal:

I really like the shots you are getting with the D500 @Roy1961, but I have always enjoyed your thread. How do you like the D500?

Are you sure these are coots Roy? The Common Moorhen chicks look like that around here.
