Wow, some colours on that bird, not to mention feet! Looks like a cousin of the moorhen. Cool pics.

Well captured Mark. I love the colours.

I've still got to add this bird to my photo collection someday.

Great shots, each and every one.

That bird looks very similar to the Purple Swamp Hens we have here...

Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.
