Such an unusual and colourful bird.

There are plenty of them running around in Intaka.

The first one I ever got a glimpse of was here on the estate. It is very shy and does not come out of the reeds.

We have birds like this in nz. Pūkeko and takahe. I wonder if they’re related.

He is very colorful indeed, and I like the way you have captured him in front of these reeds. The POV is fabulous.
