Isn’t he something?! He does look kind of ragged at this stage! Ha!

He does look like he is having a bad feather day. I love seeing him as his colors change. Nature is amazing.

@milaniet They are so deep in the reeds Mianie, that some days you can only hear them. this was taken at one of the dams where the reed died during the drought. It is slowly growing back and not even a meter (3ft) high ;-)

[Babs]

He does look rather ruffled.

[4rky]

Marvellous!
