CommentThe reason for selecting this image
Crakes and rails are notoriously shy birds to capture, this in combination with capturing the behaviour of two birds engaging in a teritorial fight that lasts seconds, locking focus, freezing the action without time to compose and selecting correct camera settings is technically difficult.
Such opportunities rarely manifest themselves.
