It's amazing how aggressive Coots can be, especially the dominant ones on the lake. They'll spend ages chasing rivals round and round the lake!

Even Canada Geese, who glide elegantly across the water, turn into honking demons when it comes to defending what is theirs!

Coots seem to be the most aggressive of the local birds, chasing their rivals, fighting and trying to drown them in an orgy of violence. Nature can be tough!

Great thing about the Sony 300mmF2.8+ 2x Converter is how light it is! Compared to the Sony 200-600mm lens it is so much easier to handle and carry (I'm getting old!)

Okay, so these photos don’t show the honking madness that can be Canada Geese, more their tranquil zen side (honk!)
