This bird has been in a little flood pool on my local patch for several days. Getting near is no problem but the bird is hyper active, spinning around and probing its beak in the water. It does not stay still for half a second.
C & C welcome -Thanks for looking

That's a real beauty. I've never seen a bird like that.
