Moorhen. In a nearby lake it was much cleaner and Moorhens were picking around among the water lilies.

Nice shot as usual, Richard - I read in one of the National News rags (or somewhere) recently that there is also a Purple Crowned Fairy Wren and its numbers are falling - I think it may have been on the West coast of Oz - Have you got any of those in your neck of the woods? Fact or fiction? I never see any pictures of them posted.

Thanks Ray
Not here. Western Australia and northern Australia and yes they're threatened due to wild fires and over grazing.
They're lovely birds by the looks of photos

Maybe clipper_from_oz or Pippan has them in their sights?

Male eastern towhee, not sure what to make of a late April snowfall.

I really like this shot of the eastern towhee standing out alone in a field of snow, Dave! Nicely photographed.

He needs to grow into those long legs, and big feet, but he surely is cute looking, Paul. Very nice shot!
