Australasian Coot NDAO2

I had to check, it's an Australasian coot, as the New Zealand one is extant apparently.

Obviously all the coots I've seen are Australian! Easy to identify!

Lovely feather details. Looks very similar to our UK coot...

Such big feet…nice patterns in the water

Nice detail in the feathers.

But it lives in New Zealand….you will all have to adopt it!
