Eastern Swamp Hen

This photograph was taken in the historic
Botanic Gardens of Sydney.
It was taken just before Christmas last year,
as you will see.
I love the muted colours despite the clarity and bright sunlight that was around the rest of the gardens.
Please note:
It is not a bat nor a flying fox ha ha, just for a change.

Nikon D600
1/250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso560 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice capture, Elaine. The bird reminds me of our Coots, except for the red and white bill.

Dear Hal,
Many thanks for your wonderful compliments, as usual.
I am surprised that you didn't know the name!!
Not like you.

A very lovely image Elaine.
And tells me the name of these birds,
that l've never known.
l like the very effective long narrow composition.
lt's just right !
