david , 1 month ago to random Australasian Swamphen feeding time this afternoon by the lake, and a slightly damp Masked Lapwing this morning. #bird #UQ #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #AustralasianSwamphen #MaskedLapwing A Masked Lapwing, standing in a small hollow such that its legs are obscured below the grass level. Only the bird is in focus, everything else is blurred. The bird has brown wings, white body, black cape and scarf, and a prominent yellow facemark and daubs. It also has tiny droplets of water on its head from the light drizzle.

david , 1 month ago to random Nice light this morning on the walk past the lake on the way to the office. Spotted a turtle on a log with the UQ Lakes fountain going behind it, and a preening Australasian Swamphen with its reflection in the morning light. #bird #turtle #WildOz #AustralianWildlife #AustralasianSwamphen An Australasian Swamphen standing in still shallow water. It is well lit by the morning sun and is casting a reflection in the water below. The bird has a red beak and face shield, deep vibrant blue neck and chest, black wings and orange legs. There are overhanging palm-like plants behind it.
