About The Pukeko, or New Zealand Swamp Hen is a member of the rail family, and is similar to other species found all over the world. It is one of the few New Zealand native birds to have flourished since the arrival of man, and can be found in almost any grassland area, especially in swampy locations. Groups will often be seen foraging for food in road-side areas.
Quite often when you go near them they will put there heads in the grass and think because they cant see you, you cant see them. I always thought they were looking up there ancestors.

Do better! I doubt it. Excellent shot and colours Keith. Only way I could get a better shot would be as per my edited version. Legs up.

Wonderful looking bird Keith/Tony, I am wondering why it didnt put its head down seeing you...lollll
It must have felt you were of no danger at all, even
lifting up its foot for a dance maybe??? It must be a lady.......:))) So is it Tony or you who made this shot??Great about, thanks for teaching us too!!
Big hugs and sleep well, xxJen
