What a lovely little bird... thanks for sharing.
Great photos of the Pukeko - the sheen on the feathers is very beautiful.
Just when we thought that the Purple one in Australia was stocky enough! Such an impressive bird.
Beautiful bird. The feet look several sizes too big.
I think Your Pukeko is similar to our Moorhen! They are neat birds, great sighting!
Very impressive red head and beak!
These are great birds - even if they do strut about like bullies!

That's a lovely looking bird
Hi Gemma, First time I have seen your blog so just had a snoop round.... love the straw necked Ibis. Hope to see more of you in the near future.
Nice post Gemma! A cosmopolitan bird with many different names!
wow, Gemma, that is gorgeous shots of the swamp hen. Nice to see it.
